It's At Greek To Us
Along with me a lot of you
may often wonder who first
used many of the expressions
common in our every day con
versations. I have run a few of
them down and thought I would
pass them along to you in this
week's column.
1 will list those by Shakes
peare first, since he is re
sponsible for so many. You
will learn, just as I did, that
ole William was pretty much
of a pop-off.
Melted into thin air. It beg
gared all description. Brevity
is the soul of wit. Cheek by
jole. As cold as any stone. That
it should come to this. The
crack of doom. The most un
kindest cut of all. (You see,
ole Bill wasn't above using
a double superlative) I can cut
a a caper. We've seen better
days. He will give the devil his
due. Friends, Romans, coun
trymen, lend me your ears.
He hath eaten me out of house
and home. (He must've had
klnfolks come to visit him). An
eyesore to our solemn festi
val, There's something in the
wind. A thousand times, good
night! Play fast and loose with
faith. At my fingertips. Pound
of flesh. Forever and a day. It
was Greek to me. My salad
days. The green sickness
(envy). My heart upon my
sleeve. 'Tis neither here nor
there. A horse, a horse, my
kingdom for a horse. Lay on
Macduff. The livelong day.
Lily-livered. This is the short
and long of it. The course of
true love never did run
smooth. One that loved not
wisely but too well. The milk
of human kindness. What's ina
name? That which we call a
rose by any other name would
smell as sweet. An itching
palm. A plague o' both your
houses. The play's the thing.
The lady doth protest too
much. Something Is rotten In
the state of Denmark. Like a
drunken sailor. More sinned
against than sinning. I have not
slept one wink. So, so. At one
fell swoop. Sweets to the
sweet. Like a pair of loving
turtle doves. Westward-ho. (I
bet you thought that came from
Wagon Train).
Then there are many of
these old sayings that have
been handed down whose
authorship is unknown, such as
the following.
A fool and his money are
soon parted. If wishes were
horses beggars would ride.
F orgi ve and forget. When pov
erty comes in at the door lovel
flies out the window. Stitch in
time saves nine.
Alexander Pope said these:
To err is human, to forgive
is divine. Fools rush in where
angels fear to tread. Blessed
is he who expects nothing, for
he shall never be disappoint
ed. (Of this one Pope said that
it should be the eighth beati
tude.)
W. C. Fields: It ain't a fit
night out for man nor beast.
Petronius: Not worth his
salt. Beware of the dog.
Plato: Necessity Is the
mother of invention.
Publilius Syrus: A rolling
stone gathers no moss.
Addaeus: Strike while the
iron is hot.
From The Proverbes, by
John Heywood: A burnt child
dreads the fire. A penny for
your thought. She looketh as
butter would not melt in her
mouth. Two heads are better
than one. Better late than
never. All Is well that ends
well. Haste makes waste. Hold
their noses to the grindstone.
The fat is in the fire. Look
ere ye leape. To tell tales out
01 sctiool.
You have probably been ask
ed, at one time or another,
whether you ate to liveor lived
to eat. The question most
likely came from this quote by
Socrates: Bad men live that
they may eat and drink, where
as good men eat and drink that
they may live.
Ben Franklin: There is
nothing certain but death and
taxes. Three moves are as bad
as a fire. Little strokes fell
great oaks. He that goes
a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
We must all hang together, or
assuredly we shall all hang
separately.
Finally a few funny ones
I think:
Frank McKinny: It's no dis
grace to be poor, but it might
as well be. He was a power
politically fer years, but he
never got prominent enough t'
have his speeches garbled.
When a fellow says it hain't
the money but the principle o'
the thing, it's the money. No
buddy ever fer gits where he
buried a hatchet.
Will Rogers: Everything is
funny as long as it is happen
ing to somebody else. Politics
has got so expensive that it
takes lots of money to even get
beat with. Moremenhavebeen
elected between Sundown and
Sunup, than ever were elected
between Sunup and Sundown.
Mark Twain: It could pro
bably be shown by tacts and
figures that there is no dis
tinctly native American cri
minal class except Congress.
Why is it that we rejoice at
a birth and grieve at a funeral?
It is because we are not the
person involved. When in doubt
tell the truth. Man is the only
animal that blushes- - - or
needs to. Always do right. This
