Proverbial Thursday – Proverbs from around the World

Community 0 Minutes

I find profound wisdom in proverbs, sayings and quotes and marvel at the way they can be so succinct in communicating messages to the reader. Mostly anonymous, they come to us from past generations and across cultures, and speak of the experiences of lives lived and lessons learned. Quotes like proverbs, can make us think more deeply about something.

Each Thursday, I post a Proverb or Saying and a Quote that I find thought-provoking.  I hope you will too.

Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I am Australian. To travel is to broaden the mind, so I travel whenever I can. I am an avid crime fiction reader, and enjoy travel photography, writing and a variety of cooking, crafts, and traditional art forms. Politically aware and egalitarian by nature, I have a strong environmental bent. Come and say hi!

    PS: You nearly had me thinking I was lost in time again and after a quick look I saw it was Wednesday and not Thursday, but I don’t mind. Love your posts! 😀
