Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proverbs From Plymouth Pulpit Nature can work roughly and coarsely in generalities, but She wants man's intellect and will to interpret what she does. God has quilted the earth with beauty, and combed the hair of millions of mosses, reeds, and grasses, and every day fills them with jewels, and yet nothing is fop pish or garish!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Original Plymouth Pulpit, Vol. 1: Sermons of Henry Ward Beecher in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn; September, 1868 to March, 1869 In our day, sermons that are only chapters of theology will be read by few, not because they are not good, but because they are not adapted to the present want. The sermons that will be read by multitudes are those which bring God's infinite truth into vital relations with the thoughts, sympathies, enterprises, habits, loves, hatreds, temptations and sins, ideals and aspirations of the times in which the preacher lives. A few sermons there are, a very few, that so grasp the heart-truths in their universal forms as to be interesting and powerful alike in every age. But few good sermons can live longer than the generation for which they were made. The true preacher is to be eminently a man of his own time. He is to be in sympathy, not with ideas and truths alone, but with living men. To know merely what men thought a hundred years ago, - to be learned only in the things that men wanted in other ages, is to be but a pulpit antiquary. The printing-press may preach essays. The pulpit is for living truth aimed at living men. No matter if sermons are transient in their effects. So are drops of rain. But, in both cases, shower follows shower, and, while no one drop endures, the vegetable kingdom grows and thrives through all ages. Sermons perish, but men live. It is a token for good when so many are interested in reading sermons that publishers find it for their interest to spread them abroad. I shall be glad indeed if these discourses, prepared for my own congregation, and preached week by week from my own pulpit, shall be, to others far away, both food and medicine.

Download or read book A Dictionary of American Proverbs written by Wolfgang Mieder and published by New York : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have a gift for coining proverbs. "A picture is worth a thousand words" was not, as you might imagine, the product of ancient Chinese wisdom -- it was actually minted by advertising executive Fred Barnard in a 1921 advertisement for Printer's Ink magazine. After all, Americans are first and foremost a practical people and proverbs can be loosely defined as pithy statements that are generally accepted as true and useful. The next logical step would be to gather all of this wisdom together for a truly American celebration of shrewd advice.A Dictionary of American Proverbs is the first major collection of proverbs in the English language based on oral sources rather than written ones. Listed alphabetically according to their most significant key word, it features over 15,000 entries including uniquely American proverbs that have never before been recorded, as well as thousands of traditional proverbs that have found their way into American speech from classical, biblical, British, continental European, and American literature. Based on the fieldwork conducted over thirty years by the American Dialect Society, this volume is complete with historical references to the earliest written sources, and supplies variants and recorded geographical distribution after each proverb.Many surprised await the reader in this vast treasure trove of wit and wisdom. Collected here are nuggets of popular wisdom on all aspects of American life: weather, agriculture, travel, money, business, food, neighbors, friends, manners, government, politics, law, health, education, religion, music, song, and dance. And, to further enhance browsing pleasure, the editors have provided a detailed guide to the use of the work. While it's true that many of our best known proverbs have been supplied by the ever-present "Anonymous," many more can be attributed to some very famous Americans, like Ernest Hemingway, Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, Mark Twain, J. Pierpont Morgan, Thomas Alva Edison, Abigail Adams, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, to name but a few offered in this fascinating collection.Who wouldn't want to know the origin of "the opera ain't over till the fat lady sings?" This uniquely American proverb and many more are gathered together in A Dictionary of American Proverbs. A great resource for students and scholars of literature, psychology, folklore, linguistics, anthropology, and cultural history, this endlessly intriguing volume is also a delightful companion for anyone with an interest in American culture.
