Proverbs from Around the World: A Collection of Timeless Wisdom, Wit, Sayings & Advice

by Gerd De Ley

Proverbs from Around the World collects the best proverbs from all corners of the earth.

As much as there are differences in our cultures, traditions, and beliefs, there are more similarities between us all than we all realize. One of these similarities is our penchant to record age-old wisdom through generations. Proverbs from Around the World feature a grand collection of these passed down knowledge and witticisms from all continents--Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. In so doing, the book gives insight to the wonderful and rich cultures around the world and perhaps helping us all realize that ultimately we are one people.

I enjoyed this. It's difficult to read a book like this from beginning to end, however. You need a purpose in order to pick it up the next day. I took a few of the proverbs each day as part of meditation. I also used some of them in facebook postings. It was fun to trace the origin of some of the stranger ones. The book is wideranging in its sources but would be more fun if it gave some more context for the quotations.
