Proverbial Wisdom: Proverbs From Around The Globe - Paperback

by Miriam White Williams M. Ed (Author)

Almost every culture or worldwide language has its own collection of sayings. Many have the same truths or similar themes and most are imbued with a moral message. These sayings may be called a proverb, adage, aphorism, motto, saw, axiom, dictum or maxim. Proverbs come from many different sources but their main objective is universal. A proverb serves as a guideline for life. A method of teaching and encouraging, leading and advising, in the form of an observation, words of advice, or an attitude about a situation.
