The Viking book of aphorisms : a personal selection por W. H. Auden
This is a reference book so I did not read it cover to cover. I came to it by way of a recommendation by Jacques Barzun to browse rather than read this volume.

Of course, W. H. Auden gets all the attention and I don't begrudge him that but Louis Kronenberger should get mention as a coauthor. And who is Louis Kronenberger? From Wikipedia he appears to be another person we should all be more familiar with.
