An ancient commonplace, which Seneca says he quotes from Aristotle,
Problemata, 30, 1: "No excellent soul is exempt from a mixture of madness."
It is also in Plato, Phaedrus, 245-A. Good sense travels on the well-worn
paths; genius, never. And that is why the crowd, not altogether without
reason, is so ready to treat great men as lunatics.-Cesare Lombroso

Thule. Translated by S. E. Morison. As one much addicted to prophecies,
and who had already voyaged beyond Thule (Iceland), Columbus was much
impressed by the passage in Seneca's Medea.-S. E. Morison, Admiral of the
Ocean Sea [1942], vol. I, ch. 6 Next to these lines from Medea in an early
edition of Seneca's tragedies that belonged to Columbus's son Ferdinand,
there is this annotation in the son's hand: Haec profetia impleta est per
patrem meum . . . almirantem anno 1492 [The prophecy was fulfilled by my
father the Admiral in the year 1492].-Ib. 5 %@EF@%

Why does pouring oil on the sea make it clear and calm? Is it for that the
winds, slipping the smooth oil, have no force, nor cause any waves?-Plutarch
[ A.D. 46-120], Natural Questions, IX Bishop Adain [651] gave to a company
about to take a journey by sea "some holy oil, saying, "I know that when you
go abroad you will meet with a storm and contrary wind; but do you remember
to cast this oil I give you into the sea, and the wind shall cease
immediately.'"-Bede [c. 672-c. 735], Ecclesiastical History, bk. III, ch. 14
In Jared Sparks's edition of Benjamin Franklin's Works, vol. VI, p. 354,
there are letters between Franklin, Brownrigg, and Parish on the stilling of
waves by means of oil. %@EF@%

open, when, spitting into it, the effect was like magic: the reptile
appeared struck with instant death.-Memoirs, vol. I, ch. 59 %@EF@%

come to you yet; do not project your desire to meet it, but wait until it
comes in front of you. So act toward children, so toward a wife, so toward
office, so toward wealth.%@NL@%

This is often rendered as: The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the
Church. The Church of Christ has been founded by shedding its own blood,
not that of others; by enduring outrage, not by inflicting it. Persecutions
have made it grow; martyrdoms have crowned it.-St. Jerome [c. 342-420],

%@NL@%%@1@%%@AB@%The Koran%@AE@%%@EH@%%@FN@%
Also spelled Qur'an; Quran. Muslims believe that the Koran is of divine
origin, revealed by God to the prophet Muhammad [c. 570-632]. The word
Koran, derived from the verb karaa, to read, signifies properly in Arabic
"the reading," or rather, "that which ought to be read." . . . The Koran is
divided into 114 larger portions of very unequal length, which we call
chapters, but the Arabians sowar, in the singular sura, a word rarely used
on any other occasion.-George Sale, The Koran [1734], The Preliminary
Discourse, sec. III Translations by George Sale [1734], E. H. Palmer
[1900], J. M. Rodwell [1909], Richard Bell [1927], M. M. Pickthall [1953],

Non teneas aurum totum quod splendet ut aurum [All that glitters is not
gold]. This was considered a common proverb which had its roots in a Latin
translation from Aristotle: Yellow-colored objects appear to be
gold.-Elenchi, bk. I, ch. 1 Hyt is not al gold that glareth.-Chaucer, The
House of Fame [1374-1385], bk. I, l. 272 But al thyng which that shineth as
the gold/Nis nat gold, as that I have herd it told.-The Canterbury Tales [c.
1387], The Canon's Yeoman's Tale, l. 962 All is not gold that outward
showeth bright.-Lydgate [c. 1370-c. 1451], On the Mutability of Human
Affairs Non omne quod fulget est aurum.-Gabriel Biel [d. 1495], Expositio
Canonis Messe, lecture 77, derived from William of Auvergne [d. 1249]. This
is the Latin version closest to the proverb as commonly known. All that
glisters is not gold-/Often have you heard that told.-Shakespeare, Merchant
of Venice [15961597], act II, sc. vii, l. 65 %@EF@%

The phrase has been said to derive from the custom of some manors where
tenants were authorized to take firebote by hook or by crook; that is, so
much of the underwood as may be cut with a crook, and so much of the loose
timber as may be collected from the boughs by a hook. Quoted by Skelton,
Heywood, Spenser, and others. %@EF@%

Supposedly, Wycliffe used this phrase in the general prologue of his
translation of the Bible [1382]. However, this editor could not find it in
the 1850 edition collated from all the Wycliffe MSS. by Josiah Forshall and
Sir Frederick Madden. The closest sentence is: If this book be wel
understanden, it is profitable bothe to goostly governours and bodily
lordis, and iustisis and comyns also. See Webster, Disraeli, Garrison,
Lincoln, and Parker %@EF@%

This, and a letter of Vespucci to his friend Pier Soderini [1504], led
geography professor Martin Waldseemuller to credit Vespucci with discovering
"a fourth part of the world" and to issue a map [1507] with a bold america
on the continent now called South America. Vespucci had invented a voyage of
1497, a year before Columbus's Third Voyage to the mainland of South

Je suspends mon jugement. Translated by E. J. Trechman. Greek word
(epecho) inscribed on a bay in Montaigne's library.-Maurice Rat, Oeuvres
Completes de Montaigne, La Pleiade Edition [1962], note This is one of a
dozen maxims from Sextus Empiricus, third-century Greek philosopher, which
together with Biblical and Latin quotations comprise the fifty-seven
sentences painted on the roof bays of Montaigne's library. About two thirds
of the sentences are in Apologie de Raimond Sebond (chapter 12 of book II of
the Essays). See also the next quotation (Montaigne). %@EF@%

Translated by Charles Cotton, revised by Hazlitt and Wight. I myself have
loved a lady and pursued her with a great deal of under-age protestation,
whom some three or four gallants that have enjoyed would with all their
hearts have been glad to have been rid of. 'Tis just like a summer bird-cage
in a garden: the birds that are without despair to get in, and the birds
that are within despair and are in a consumption for fear they shall never
get out.-John Webster, The White Devil [1612], act I, sc. ii Wedlock,
indeed, hath oft compared been/To public feasts, where meet a public
rout-/Where they that are without would fain go in,/And they that are within
would fain go out.-Sir John Davies [1569-1626], Contention Betwixt a Wife,

The way to heaven out of all places is of like length and distance.-Sir
Thomas More, Utopia [1516] Gilbert, on the last day of his life, was seen
in his tiny pinnace Squirrel with a book in hand, probably More's Utopia,
which inspired his last utterance. He was homeward bound from Newfoundland,
which he had just taken possession of in the name of the queen [August
1583]. "Do not fear! Heaven is as near,"/He said, "by water as by
land!"-Longfellow, Sir Humphrey Gilbert [1849], st. 6 See Robert Burton and

It is a heartrending delusion and a cruel snare to be paid for your work
before you accomplish it. As soon as once your work is finished you ought to
be promptly paid; but to receive your lucre one minute before it is due is
to tempt Providence to make a Micawber of you.-Edmund Gosse, Gossip in a

For his play Appius and Virginia [1709], Dennis had invented a new species
of thunder. "The tragedy however was coldly received, notwithstanding such
assistance, and was acted but a short time. Some nights after, Mr. Dennis,
being in the pit at the representation of Macbeth, heard his own thunder
made use of; upon which he rose in a violent passion, and exclaimed, with an

Let it be, let it pass. The phrase is not readily translatable, and also
appears as: Laissez faire, laissez aller. It has also been attributed to
Pierre le Pesant Boisguilbert [1676-1714] and Jean Claude Gournay
[1712-1759]. It was widely used by the Physiocrats in urging freedom from
government interference, and was adopted by Adam Smith [1723-1790]. %@EF@%

Le genie n'est qu'une plus grande aptitude a la patience. Herault de
Sechelles, in Voyage a Montbard, first attributed this to Buffon. It is
quoted by Matthew Arnold in "A French Coleridge" [Essays in Criticism,
1865]. There is also a popular proverb: Genius is patience. Lord Sydenham
[1799-1841] defined genius as a consummate sense of proportion. See
Carlyle, Butler, and Hopkins Patience is a necessary ingredient of
genius.-Disraeli, The Young Duke [1831] Genius is capacity for taking
trouble.-Leslie Stephen [1832-1904] Genius is an intuitive talent for
labor.-Johannes Walaeus [Jan van Wale] [1604-1699] %@EF@%

Edited by G. B. Hill and revised by L. F. Powell [1934]. The Life of
Johnson is assuredly a great, a very great work. Homer is not more decidedly
the first of heroic poets, Shakespeare is not more decidedly the first of
dramatists, Demosthenes is not more decidedly the first of orators, than
Boswell is the first of biographers. He has no second.-Macaulay, Samuel
Johnson [1831] %@EF@%

The couplet has also been attributed to Luther, apparently on no better
authority than an eighteenth-century jingle in which "Luther" is needed to
rhyme with "Futter." Redlich ascribes it to Voss in Die Poetischen

Adapted from the translation by Theodore Spencer for the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, for the performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. It was during
his student days in Bonn that Beethoven fastened upon Schiller's poem. . . .
The heady sense of liberation in the verses must have appealed to him as
they appealed to every German. They were in the spirit of the times, the
spirit that had swept Europe and America, and Beethoven belonged to his
time.-John N. Burk, program notes for the Boston Symphony Orchestra [October
1, 1965] %@EF@%

In 1797 a secret agent from Talleyrand told Charles Cotesworth Pinckney,
minister to the French republic, that the American commissioners in Paris to
protest French attacks on U.S. shipping would be received only if they paid
a [dollar]50,000 bribe and made a large loan to the French government.
Pinckney's reply was: "Not a sixpence, sir." Later, Harper's remark was
attributed to him. %@EF@%

we shall generally find that the triangular person has got into the square

himself into the round hole. The officer and the office, the doer and the

At the first meeting of the London Mechanics' Institution [1825], John
Reynolds, head of a school in Clerkenwell, acted as secretary of the
meeting. Lord Brougham, who spoke at this meeting, said in the course of his
remarks, "Look out, gentlemen, the schoolmaster is abroad." The phrase
attracted little attention at that time, but when used in a speech three
years later, it at once became popular. %@EF@%

Macaulay used a similar image in his review [1824] of Mitford, Greece, and
in his review [1829] of Mill, Essay on Government. Who knows but that
hereafter some traveler like myself will sit down upon the banks of the
Seine, the Thames, or the Zuyder Zee, where now, in the tumult of enjoyment,
the heart and the eyes are too slow to take in the multitude of sensations?
Who knows but he will sit down solitary amid silent ruins, and weep a people
inurned and their greatness changed into an empty name?-Constantin de Volney
[1757-1820], Ruins, ch. 11 See Horace Walpole In the firm expectation that
when London shall be a habitation of bitterns, when St. Paul and Westminster
Abbey shall stand shapeless and nameless ruins in the midst of an unpeopled
marsh, when the piers of Waterloo Bridge shall become the nuclei of islets
of reeds and osiers, and cast the jagged shadows of their broken arches on
the solitary stream, some transatlantic commentator will be weighing in the
scales of some new and now unimagined system of criticism the respective
merits of the Bells and the Fudges and their historians.-Shelley, Peter Bell

On March 6, 1836, five days after Texas declared her independence from
Mexico, President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna attacked the Alamo, the
fortified mission at San Antonio; captured it after every Texan had been
killed or wounded; and put the wounded to death. He was defeated and
captured at San Jacinto [April 21, 1836] by the Texas army under Commander
in Chief Samuel Houston. Sidney Sherman was a colonel in the army. %@EF@%

Walden is the only book I own, although there are some others unclaimed on
my shelves. Every man, I think, reads one book in his life, and this one is
mine. It is not the best book I ever encountered, perhaps, but it is for me
the handiest, and I keep it about me in much the same way one carries a
handkerchief-for relief in moments of defluxion or despair.-E. B. White, The

was invented by Tolstoi and the brothers Zhemchuzhnikov, who supplied him
with a biography, a portrait, and Collected Works, published in 1884.
Individual satirical pieces had been appearing under his name since 1851. He
became a classic of Russian satirical humor. Translated by B. G. Gurney. %@EF@%

simply exerting his will, without stirring from Paris?" "Yes." "Well?" "Bah!

were proved to you that the thing was possible and you only needed to nod

This statement, traditionally attributed to Dostoevski and quoted by most
writers on Dostoevski and on Russian realism, appears in Eugene Melchior,
vicomte de Vogue [1848-1910], Le Roman Russe [1886], ch. 3: The more I read
the Russians, the more I understand the observation one of them made to me .
. . "We have all come out of Gogol's Overcoat." We see further how evident
the connection is with Dostoevski: the formidable novelist is all in his
first book, Poor People, and Poor People has its origin in the Overcoat. De
Vogue reiterated this statement in the speech he made on the occasion of
unveiling a centennial monument to Gogol in Moscow in 1909. %@EF@%

Edward Sylvester Ellis [1840-1916] reported that after Custer's fight with
Black Kettle's band of Cheyenne Indians, the Comanche Chief Toch-a-way
(Turtle Dove) was presented to General Sheridan. The Indian said: "Me
Toch-a-way, me good Indian." The general's reply, as reported by Ellis, is
given in the text; the phrase is more often heard in the version: The only
good Indian is a dead Indian. %@EF@%

I was a fresh, new journalist, and needed a nom de guerre; so I confiscated
the ancient mariner's discarded one ["Mark Twain"], and have done my best to
make it remain what it was in his hands-a sign and symbol and warrant that
whatever is found in its company may be gambled on as being the petrified
truth.-Twain, Life on the Mississippi [1883], ch. 50 The earlier use of the
pen name was by Captain Isaiah Sellers, in theNew Orleans Picayune. The
phrase "mark twain," meaning "two fathoms deep," was employed in making
soundings on the Mississippi riverboats. %@EF@%

is the right American stuff; and perhaps hereafter, when my din is done, if
anyone is curious to know what that noise was, it will be found to have
proceeded from a small insect which was scraping about on the surface of our
life and trying to get into its meaning for the sake of the other insects
larger or smaller. That is, such has been my unconscious work; consciously,
I was always, as I still am, trying to fashion a piece of literature out of
the life next at hand.%@NL@%

You know how opposed your whole "third manner" of execution is to the
literary ideals which animate my crude and Orson-like breast, mine being to
say a thing in one sentence as straight and explicit as it can be made, and
then to drop it forever; yours being to avoid naming it straight, but by
dint of breathing and sighing all round and round it, to arouse in the
reader who may have had a similar perception already . . . the illusion of a
solid object, made . . . wholly out of impalpable materials, air, and the
prismatic interference of light, ingeniously focused by mirrors upon empty
space. But you do it, that's the queerness!-William James, letter to his

be said that impressions are experience. . . . Therefore, if I should
certainly say to a novice, "Write from experience and experience only," I
should feel that this was rather a tantalizing monition if I were not
careful immediately to add, "Try to be one of the people on whom nothing is
lost."%@NL@%

Treasure Island came out of Kingsley's At Last, where I got the Dead Man's
Chest-and that was the seed.-R. L. Stevenson, Letter to Sidney Colvin We
were crawling slowly along, looking out for Virgin Gorda; the first of those
numberless isles which Columbus, so goes the tale, discovered on St.
Ursula's day, and named them after the saint and her eleven thousand
mythical virgins. Unfortunately, English buccaneers have since given to most
of them less poetic names. The Dutchman's Cap, Broken Jerusalem, The Dead
Man's Chest, Rum Island, and so forth, mark a time and race more
prosaic.-Charles Kingsley, At Last [1870], ch. 1 %@EF@%

Of the several traditions relating to the origin of this remark, the most
reasonable one traces it to John Motley Morehead [1796-1866], who was
Governor of North Carolina 1841-1845. He was visited by James H. Hammond
[1807-1864], who was Governor of South Carolina 1842-1844. They engaged in
discussion and argument, and when the latter waxed hot, Governor Morehead
was reported by a servant to have exclaimed: "It's a long time between
drinks."-John Motley Morehead, letter [November 21, 1934] %@EF@%

In all considerations the psychological momentum or factor must be allowed
to play a prominent part, for without its cooperation there is little to be
hoped from the work of the artillery.-Neue Preussische Kreuzzeitung
[December 16, 1870], commenting upon the siege of Paris An error in
translation gave us "psychological moment" (i.e., the critical moment). The
Parisians ridiculed the phrase as an example of German pedantry, but it
speedily became universal. %@EF@%
