Welcome!

Welcome to The Library of Proverbial Wisdom where readers can find an extensive selection of Proverbs which contain the essence of wisdom  that serve  as cautionary tales, warnings and chastisement, providing comparisons between types of people and behavior and offering suggestions for dealing with others properly.

The library pages contains thousands of  short messages Proverbs & Sayings ,  the most popular classic thoughts and traditional pithy statements that were passed down over the centuries from one generation to another to express common truths or beliefs,  specifically designed to convey wisdom gathered through time and experience, or simply to give advices about the best way to live. They are  a  valuable  aspect  of the oral  literature  and  sometimes the key  to  understanding  different  Cultures.  They play a significant role in people’s lives across the globe, being used most of the time to explain situations or feelings.

The advantage of the proverbs  is the universality of their meaning.  They are the briefest possible condensation of humanity's collective history. They can capture a point of view in talented words and everyone  can  relate  to  them  in  some  way  and  on  some  level.   They are memorable, easy to learn and fun to use. The wisdom they display comes from an experience recorded of people’s mistakes.

Hoping that you will enjoy our daily updated posts which may take a little time to read, but a life time to apply!
