This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases That popular phraseology which has subsisted among us time out of mind, and which may be said to constitute a kind of common speech, presents to our notice a theme peculiarly abounding in curiosity, interest and social illustration. The Rev. John Ward, Vicar of stratford-on-avon in the time of Charles II., observes in his diary Six things required to a proverb; 1. Short; 2. Plain; 3. Common; 4. Figurative; 5. Ancient; 6. True. If we allow this to be a fair criterion or standard, it follows that in the existing collections are a very great number of articles which have no real title to a place there; and such is, indeed, the actual fact. In Dr. Fuller's Gnomologia, 1732, there are 6496 sayings; but of these a considerable proportion would have to be eliminated to satisfy Mr. Ward's postulates; for there are, assuredly, many which do not fall under any of those heads.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antiquity of Proverbs: Fifty Familiar Proverbs and Folk Sayings With Annotations and Lists of Connected Forms, Found in All Parts of the World Megara five hundred years before Christ. Theog nis' poems contained so many proverbs that a large number of them were selected and used as precepts for the conduct of the young. Others were repeated by Theophrastus, Aristotle, Plato and Pythagoras, the Greek philosophers. Our surprise was great when we were told that Pindar, the Lyric poet, and friend Of Theron and Hieron had, a half millennium before the Chris tian era, penned the words that Paul heard from the illumined heavens when on his way to Damascus It is hard for thee to kick against the goad. Then we read the fables of Alsop, who be longed to an age a little earlier than that of Pindar, and found that all his wonderful stories were in a sense amplified proverbs and from which we may have derived our One swallow does not make a summer, Heaven helps those who help themselves, You cannot wash a blackamoor white, and Look before you leap.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proverbs, Maxims and Phrases of All Ages, Vol. 1 of 2: Classified Subjectively and Arranged Alphabetically The compiler does not venture to claim for his work either completeness or perfection; he hopes, however, that it may be found, what he has conscientiously endeavored to make it, useful and instructive. In offering a book to the world of letters, it is fair to assume that the author, or as in this case the compiler, claims for it a right to exist on the ground of superiority in some particulars over existing works in the same department of literature. The great value as instructors, of inspired and uninspired proverbs has long been recognized. "The people's voice, the voice of God we call, And what are proverbs but the public voice? Coined first and common made by common choice, Then sure they must have weight and truth withal." It may be safely affirmed of all notable collection of proverbs hitherto published, that they include very many tainted with impurity, and others, the wit of which does not redeem their coarseness.
