Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor's landmark. Deut. xix. 14.

* See the Note under Remove, v. i.

I can not taint with fear. Shak.

* The verb remove, in some of its application, is synonymous with move, but not in all. Thus we do not apply remove to a mere change of posture, without a change of place or the seat of a thing. A man moves his head when he turns it, or his finger when he bends it, but he does not remove it. Remove usually or always denotes a change of place in a body, but we never apply it to a regular, continued course or motion. We never say the wind or water, or a ship, removes at a certain rate by the hour; but we say a ship was removed from one place in a harbor to another. Move is a generic term, including the sense of remove, which is more generally applied to a change from one station or permanent position, stand, or seat, to another station.

This place should be at once both school and university, not needing a remove to any other house of scholarship. Milton.

And drags at each remove a lengthening chain. Goldsmith.

It is an English proverb that three removes are as bad as a fire. J. H. Newman.

A freeholder is but one remove from a legislator. Addison.
