This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 

to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

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. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  maiginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 

publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the

prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 
We  also  ask  that  you:

personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  fivm  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help.

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liabili^  can  be  quite  severe.

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.

And  all  the  men  and  women  merely  players  j 
They  have  their  exits  and  their  entrances;

His  Acts  being  seven  ages.     At  first,  the  Infant, 
Mewling  and  puking  in  the  nurse's  arms. 
Then  the  whining  School-boy,  with  his  satchel 
And  shining  morning  face,  creeping  like  snail 
Unwillingly  to  school.     And  then  the  Lover, 
Sighing  like  furnace,  with  a  woful  ballad 
Made  to  his  mistress'  eyebrow.     Then  a  Soldier, 
Full  of  strange  oaths,  and  bearded  like  thepard  ; 
Jealous  in  honour,  sudden  and  quick  in  quarrel. 
Seeking  the  bubble  Reputation 
Even  in  the  cannon's  mouth.     And  then  the

Turning  again  toward  childish  treble,  pipes

Dar'st  thou,  Cassius,  now 
Leap  in  with  me  into  this  angry  flood, 
And  swim  to  yonder  point  ?  —  Upon  the  word,

And  bear  the  palm  alone.  /a,/. 

Why,  man,  he  doth  bestride  the  narrow  world 
Like  a  Colossus  ;  and  we  petty  men 
Walk  under  his  huge  legs,  an'd  peep  about 
To  find  ourselves  dishonourable  graves. 
Men  at  some  time  are  masters  of  their  fates ; 
The  fault,  dear  Brutus,  is  not  in  our  stars. 
But  in  ourselves,  that  we  are  underlings. 

Conjure  with  them, 
Brutus  will  start  a  spirit  as  soon  as  Casar. 

Now,  in  the  names  of  al!  the  gods  at  once. 
Upon  what  meat  doth  this  our  Cssar  feed, 
That  he  is  grown  so  great  ?  Age,  thou  art  sham'd! 
Rome,  thou  hast  lost  the  breed  of  noble  bloods. 

There  was  a  Brutus  once.that  would  have  brook'd 
The  eternal  devil  to  keep  his  state  In  Rome, 
As  easily  as  a  king.  Uui.

That  flesh  is  heir  to,  —  't  is  a  consummation 
Devoutly  to  be  wish'd.     To  die,  —  to  sleep  :  — 
To  sleep !  perchance,  to  dream  :  ay,  there 's  the 

rub; 
For  in  that  sleep  of  death  what  dreams  may  come 
When  we  have  shuffled  off  this  mortal  coil, 
Must  give  us  pause.     There  's  the  respect 
That  makes  calamity  of  so  long  life : 
For  who  would  bear  the  whips  and  scorns  of  time. 
The  oppressor's  wrong,  the  proud  man's  con- 
tumely. 
The  pangs  of  despis'd  love,  the  law's  delay, 
The  insolence  of  office,  and  the  spurns 
That  patient  merit  of  the  unworthy  takes, 
When  he  himself  might  his  quietus  make 
With  a  bare  bodkin  ?     Who  would  fardels  *  bear. 
To  grunt  and  sweat  under  a  weary  life. 
But  that  the  dread  of  something  after  death,  — 
The  undiscovered  country,  from  whose  bourn

No  traveller  returns,  —  puzzles  the  will, 
And  makes  us  rather  bear  those  ills  we  have, 
Than  fly  to  others  that  we  know  not  of? 
Thus  conscience  does  make  cowards  of  us  all ; 
And  thus  the  native  hue  of  resolution 
Is  sicklied  o'er  with  the  pale  cast  of  thought ; 
And  enterprises  of  great  pith  and  moment. 
With  this  regard  their  currents  turn  awry, 
And  lose  the  name  of  action.  Act  iii.  Sc.  i.

Shall  I,  wasting  in  despair, 

Die  because  a  woman  's  fair  ? 
Or  make  pale  my  cheeks  with  care, 

'Cause  another's  rosy  are  ? 
Be  she  fairer  than  the  day, 
Or  the  flow'ry  meads  in  May, 
If  she  be  not  so  to  me, 
What  care  I  how  fair  she  be?^

Equity  is  a  roguish  thing:  for  law  we  have  a 
measure,  know  what  to  trust  to ;  equity  is  accord- 
ing to  the  conscience  of  him  that  is  Ciiancellor, 
and  as  that  is  larger  or  narrower,  so  is  equity. 
'T  is  all  one  as  if  they  should  make  the  standard 
for  the  measure  we  call  a  foot  a  Chancellor's 
foot ;  what  an  uncertain  measure  would  this  be  ? 
One  Chancellor  has  a  long  foot,  another  a  short 
foot,  a  third  an  indifferent  foot,  'T  is  the  same 
in  the  Chancellor's  conscience.

ye  to  a  hillside,  where  I  will  point  ye  out  the 
right  path  of  a  virtuous  and  noble  education  ; 
laborious  indeed  at  the  first  ascent,  but  else  so 
smooth,  so  green,  so  full  of  goodly  prospect,  and 
melodious  sounds  on  every  side,  that  the  harp  of

with  heaven  and  earth.  ihid.

I  cannot  praise  a  fugitive  and  cloistered

Thus  am  I  doubly  armed:   my  death  and  life. 
My  bane  and  antidote,  are  both  before  me : 
This  in  a  moment  brings  me  to  an  end  ; 
But  this  informs  me  I  shall  never  die. 
The  soul,  secured  in  her  existence,  smiles 
At  the  drawn  dagger,  and  defies  its  point 
The  stars  shall  fade  away,  the  sun  himself 
Grow  dim  with  age,  and  nature  sink  in  years. 
But  [hou  shah  flourish  in  immortal  youth,

The  wrecks  of  matter,  and  the  crush  of  worlds.

First,  then,  a  woman  will,  or  won 't,  depend  on 't ; 
If  she  will  do 't,  she  will ;  and  there 's  an  end  on'L 
But  if  she  won't,  since  safe  andsound  your  crust  is, 
l-'ear  is  affront,  and  jealousy  injustice.' 

Epilogue  to  Zara. 
Tender-handed  stroke  a  nettle. 

And  it  stings  you  for  your  pains  ; 
Grasp  it  like  a  man  of  mettle. 
And  it  soft  as  silk  remains.

Where  is  the  man  who  has  the  power  and  skill 

To  stem  the  torrent  of  a  woman's  will  1

And  if  she  won't,  she  won't;  so  there's  an  end  on't.

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

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

As  home  his  footsteps  he  hath  turned

of  all  the  people,  by  all  the  people,  for  all  the 
people  i  of  course,  a  government  of  the  princi-

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

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.

The  Gentle  Craft. 

According   10    Brady   (Clavis   Calendaria),  this

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.

immortality,  for  a  foreign  nation  is  a  kind  of 

contemporaneous  posterity.  —  Stanley,  or  Tht

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).

The  origin  of  the  word  sleveless,  in  the  sense 
of  unprofitable,  has  defied  the  most  careful  re- 
search. It  is  frequently  found  allied  to  other 
substantives.  Bishop  Hall  speaks  of  the  "sleve- 
less tale  of  transubstantialion,"  and  Milton 
writes  of  a  "sleveless  reason."  Chaucer  uses 
it  in  the  "Testament  of  Love."  — Shannan.
