All cultures have proverbs that capsulize subjects simply and
effectively. Many of these are cross-cultural. For example,
according to a Danish proverb, ""The greater the fear, the nearer
the danger,"" while a Latin proverb says, ""The less there is of
fear, the less there is danger."" This work includes over 20,000
proverbs from more than 120 languages, nationalities and ethnic
groups. The proverbs are arranged under 1,300 headings (e.g.,
accidents, divided loyalty, marriage, prosperity, shame), and each
includes the nationality, group or language in which it originated.
Comprehensive keyword and subject indexes allow access to the
material in multiple ways.
