My Bartlett's quotations book was temporarily buried in my office/library/craft room, if you can imagine. It's back with a quote from a gentlemen I haven't heard of before, Hein Heckroth.
If you're of a certain age or a fan of old crime dramas, like my mom was, you got this right away. The quote is from Malvin Wald.
Here's your Fallen Phrase Answer, a line from Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. I know it fondly (the story) from the old Bing Crosby movie, and still have not read the book. It's available on Project Gutenberg.

I used to do my puzzles from the First Lines of books, but oddly, I was getting to a point where I couldn't recall if I'd already used a book for a puzzle or not. We now have all quotations from various sources for the puzzles.
The Answer Key provided is a bit light. It saves me trying to create and type in the answers in Word, though!
Here is the answer:
Instill the love of you into all the world for a good character is what is remembered.
From The Teaching for Merikare
Casting about for themes for the puzzle, I settled on quotes about adventure. Could there be a better one?
It is from J R R Tolkien's The Hobbit.
I was inspired to look through the book version of Around The World In 80 Days by Jules Verne for a nice quote for the Fallen Phrase Puzzle. I have an adapted version myself, but I used Project Gutenberg's full version to look for my phrase.
What a grand adventure!
PBS has an adaptation Jan 2-Jan 20.
After another one of those weeks with terrible news stories, I thought something on the theme of Hope would be a good thing. Our quote is from Jonas Salk.
Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.
