It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

SEVENTH EDITION.
In this edition of "Familiar Quotations," many authors are cited who have not been represented in any former edition, and numer- ous phrases added which have been gathered by patient gleanings from the old fields.
To the quotations from Shakespeare more than three hundred lines have been added; and those from Emerson, Gibbon, Johnson, Lamb, Lowell, Macaulay, Montgomery, Pope, and other authors, have been largely increased in number.
The notes and appendix contain much new matter, and the index has been carefully re- vised as well as enlarged.
Cambridge, June, 1875.
SIXTH EDITION,
The fourth edition of " Familiar Quotations " was published in 1863. The present edition embodies the results of the later researches of its editors, besides the contributions of various friends, and includes many quotations which have long been waiting a favorable verdict on the all-important question of familiarity. A few changes have been made in the arrangement, and the citations from Shakespeare have been adapted to the principal modem editions.
The former edition has been freshly com- pared with the originals, and such errors re- moved as the revision has disclosed. The editorial labors have been shared with Re^in A. Wight, Esq., of Nev/ York, who has been a generous contributor to the former editions.
The editor takes pleasure in acknowledging his renewed obligations to Prof. Henry W.
Haynes, of Burlington ; D. W. Wilder, Esq., of Leavenworth ; Justin Winsor, Esq., and James J. Storrow, Esq., of BtMton, and to many other friends.
Cambridge, June, 1868.
ADVERTISEMENT TO THE FOURTH EDITION.
The favor shown to former editions has en- couraged the compiler of this Collection to go on with the work and make it more worthy.
It is not easy to determine in all cases the degree of familiarity that may belong to phrases and sentences which present themselves for ad- mission ; for what is familiar to one class of readers may be quite new to another.
Many maxims of the most famous writers of our language, and numberless curious and happy turns from orators and poets, have knocked at the door, and it was hard to deny them. But to admit these simply on their own merits, without assurance that the general reader would readily recognize them as old friends, was aside from the purpose of this ColIectioD.
X Advertisement.
Still, it has been thought better to incur the risk of erring on the side of fulness.
Owing to the great number of Quotations added in this edition, it has been necessary to make an entire reconstruction of the book.
It is hoped the lovers of this agreeable sub- sidiary literature may Rnd an increased useful- ness in the Collection corresponding with its present enlargement.

T is mightiest in the mightiest : it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown : His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty. Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings ; But mercy is above this sceptred sway ; It is enthroned in the hearts of kings. It is an attribute to God himself, And earthly power doth then show liltest God's, When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, Though justice be thy plea, consider this, — That in the course of justice none of us Should see salvation : we do pray for mercy.

" War," says Machiavel, " ought to be the only study of a prince " ; and, by a prince, he means every sort of state, however constituted. " He ought," says this great political Doctor, " to con- sider peace only as a breathing-time, which gives him leisure to contrive, and furnishes ability to execute, military plans." A meditation on the conduct of political societies made old Hobbes imagine that war was the state of nature.

It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the Queen of France, then the Dauphiness, at Versailles ; and surely never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the hori- zon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she just began to move in, — glittering like the morning-star, full of life, and splendour, and joy. .... Little did I dream that I should have lived to seesuch disasters fallen upon her in a nation of gallantmen, inanationof men of honour and of cavaliers. I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult. But the aje of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded.

It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be sol- emnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illumi- nations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward for evermore.

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting : The soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting, And Cometh from afar :
Not in entire forgetful ness.

From God, who is our home ; Heaven lies about us in our infancy.

If you choose to represent the various parts in life by holes upon a table, of different shapes — some circular, some triangular, some square, some oblong — and the persons acting these parts by bits of wood of similar shapes, we shal^ generally find that the triangular person has got into the square hole, the oblong into the trian- gular, and a square person has squeezed him- self into the round hole. The officer and the office, the doer and the thing done, seldom fit so exactly that we can say they were almost made for each other.

True love 's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven ;
It is not fantasy's hot fire, Whose wishes, soon as granted, fly ;
It liveth not in fierce desire. With dead desire it doth not die ; It is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie. Which heart to heart, and mind to mind. In body and in soul can bind. Cante v. St ij.
Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said.
This is my own, my native land ! Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned, As home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on a foreign strand ? If such there breathe, go, mark him well ; For him no Minstrel raptures swell ; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim ; Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self.

Once to every man and nation comes the mo- ment to decide,
In the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the good or evil side ;
Some great cause, God's new Messiah offering each the bloom or blight,
Parts the goats upon the left hand, and the sheep upon the right ;
And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that dark- ness and that light. TAt Prtstnl Crisis.
Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne. md.
Then to side with Truth is noble when we share
her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and 't is
prosperous to be just ; Then it is the brave man chooses, while the
coward stands aside, Doubting in his abject spirit, till his Lord is
crucified. ibid.

j£$chincs {Adv. CUsifh. ch. 53) ascribes to De- mosthenes the expression vnnrcr^uqnu r^ i-iiipa lio' trpayfiiiTuai, "the sinews of affairs are Cut." Dic^enes Laertius, in his Life of Bion (lib. iv. <^' 7i § 3)> represents that philoiiopher as saying rt»p nAouroi' iivoi nipo irpaj-pifuip, "that riches were the sinevs oE business," or, as the phiase may mean, " of the slate." Referring, perhaps, to this tnaxim of Bion, Plutarch says in his Life of Cleomenes (c. 27), " He who titsi called money (he sinews of the state seems to have said (his with special reference to vmr."

The Gentle Craft.
According 10 Brady (Clavis Calendaria), this designalion arose from the fact, that, in an old romance, a prince of the name of Crispin Is made to exercise, in honour of his namesake, St. Crispin, the trade of shoemaking. There is a tradition thai King Edward IV., in one of his disguises, once drank with a party of shoemaketa, and pledged them. The stoty is alluded to in the old play : — Marty because you have drank with the King, And the King halh so graciously pledg'd yoa, You shall no more be called shoemakers ; But you and yours, to the world's end, Shall be called the trade of the gentle craft.

A Rowland for an Oliver.
These were two of the most famous in the list of Charlemagne's twelve peers ; and their exploits are rendered so ridiculously and equally ex- travagant by the old romancers, thai from thence arose that saying, amongst our plain and sensible ancestors, of giving one a " Row- land for his Oliver," lo signify the matching one incredible lie with another. — Thoiruu Warburton.

" Orthodoxy, my Lord," said Bishop Warburlon, in a whixper, — "or- thodoxy is my doxy, — heterodoxy is another man's doxy." — Priestley's Memoirs. V»I, \.

'T was the saying of an ancient sage,S that hu-

Art and Part.
A Scotch law phrase, — an accesMiy before and after ihe fact. A man is said to be art and part of a crime when he contrives the manner of the deed, and concurs with and encourages those who commit the crime, although he docs not put his own hand to the actual execution of it.

Sardonic smile.
The island of Sardinia, consisting chiefly of marshes or of mountains, has, from [he earliest period to the present, been cursed with a nojc- iou9 air, an itl-cultivated soil, and a scanty population. The convulsions produced by its poisonous plants gave rise to the expression of sardonic smile, which is as old as Homer (Odyss. lib. XX. v. 302). — Mahon, Hiatery of EHg/ami Vol. i.f. 287.
Consistency is a jewel.
This is one of those popular sajrings, like " Be good, and you will be happy," or "Virtue is its own reward," that, like Topsy, "never wai born, only jist glowed." From the earliest times it has been the popular tendency to call this or that cardinal virtue, or bright and shin- ing excellence, a jewel, by way of emphasis. For eiampie, lago says 1 — " Cimi >iafni, in man or woman, de»t my lord, Is the immediate yiraW of their souls." Shakespeare elsewhere calls " Exferienci a /no- el ;" Miranda says her Modtsty is the jeaitl in her dower ; and in " All 's Well that Ends Well," Diana terms her chattity the jewel of her house. We might go on to quote John Heywood's " Plain dealing 's a jewel," and many others, but we think these examples are enough. _ R. A. Wight.
Dead as Chelsea.
To get Chelsea ; to obtain the benefit of that hospital. "Dead as Chelsea, by G-d!" an exclamation uttered by a grenadier at Fonle- noy, on having his leg carried away by a can- non ball. Dictionary of Ike Vulgar Tongui, 1758, quoted by Brady \Var.of Lit. 1826).
