Proverbial Thursday – Proverbs from around the World

I find profound wisdom in proverbs, sayings and quotes and marvel at the way they are 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.

“A beard doesn’t make a philosopher.” – Russian Proverb

Shakespeare did have a way with words – he invented more than 500 including radiance, lacklustre, lonely, bump, and amazement – and coined phrases used so often they have become cliches such as “all’s well that ends well”, “what’s done is done” and “too much of a good thing”. – Daily Newspaper  (CourierMail.com.au)
