Proverbs are words of wisdom passed down from generation to generation. I really like the succinct way they discuss problems all of us encounter in our life, or warn about the consequences of our behaviour. The authors are anonymous, so gain no credit for their words, which makes me respect them all the more.
Proverbs are better when you take a little bit of them, at a time, like a fine liqueur.
Two 
excellent Danish proverbs here:
Bad is never good until worse happens.
Danish Proverb
The dog’s kennel is not the place to keep a sausage.
Danish Proverb
but this from Italy:
Below the navel there is neither religion nor truth.!!!!!
What the Italians meant by that one, is something many have pondered about, no doubt.

A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word.
Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, I enjoy photography and craft, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.
