The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy.

These things are called pangrams.

A pangram is a sentence that contains all letters of the alphabet.

Blowzy night-frumps vex'd Jack Q. (26 letters)
Glum Schwartzkopf vex'd by NJ IQ. (26 letters)
Waltz, nymph, for quick jigs vex Bud. (28 letters)
Quick zephyrs blow, vexing daft Jim. (29 letters)
Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow. (29 letters)
How quickly daft jumping zebras vex. (30 letters)
and more on website.

By far the most well-known pangram is,
"The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog."
Frequently this is the sentence used to test out new typewriters, presumably because it includes every letter of the alphabet.
Curiously, this sentence is often misquoted by changing "jumps" to "jumped." The past tense version, lacking an s, is not a pangram.
Often, too, it is misquoted as "the lazy dog" rather than "a lazy dog." This error is not as grievous; the sentence remains a pangram, just a slightly longer one.
