Books of quotations are ordsprog

Books of quotations are an elemental model of how culture is perpetuated, the wisdom of the trite passed on to posterity, to be added to, edited, and modified by subsequent generations.

The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations.
