Proverbs provide us with wise words hitherto uttered by generally anonymous people, but succinctly and at times eloquently uttered.
The first saying is attributed to Norwegian Gustav Vigeland has written on an undated drawing that “He who is once bitten by love’s snake, never heal”
and there are several sculptures in the Vigeland Sculpture park in Oslo that effectively portray this emotion.
The next two authors are completely anonymous, but thought provoking, nonetheless.
- Everyone thinks his own burden heavy.
French Proverb
- Every path has its puddle.
English Proverb

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.

Oh Thanks, They are from a few different places. I have some of them on my website and some from the net and some in my head. I feel they can say a thousand things in just a few words.
