Fountain or Fount?
My wife and I have been arguing about the phrase 'Fountain of all knowledge'. She says it's 'Fount of all knowledge'. Can anyone tell me what the correct phrase is and for a bonus where it originates from?
Many thanks.

This quote is from 'An Essay Concerning Human Understanding' by John Locke, the 17th century philosopher. Clearly, he was referring to God.
