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
Something to ponder over today.

A philosophic Australian writes here, one who admits to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics, but scratch the surface and you'll find I am a practical Environmentalist with an Egalitarian bent trying to unleash a little creativity.
Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I am Australian. Travel broadens the mind, so I travel whenever I can. I am an avid reader, I enjoy photography, writing and a variety of crafts, particularly traditional art forms. You are always welcome to stop by at S.t.P.A.

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.
