Proverbs, aphorisms, epigrams, sayings, maxims, and so on are the
refined gems of wisdom of a culture. They are often so mundane they
are invisible, yet they are the foundation of much of our culture.
One does not understand a language, or a culture, until one knows
its proverbs and stories. Proverbs are the whispers of the
ancients, of our ancestors, down through time. They are bits of
wisdom, observations of detail, pattern, and process, designed to
spare people from painful experience, or to guide them towards
success. This is a collection of proverbs from many parts of the
world, though predominantly from Western culture. Proverbs are
sorted alphabetically. I had no idea there were so many, when I
started this project, it has taken 11 years to get this together.
This is a book to be enjoyed at fireside, perhaps with cheese and
crackers to the side, slowly, the way books used to be read.
