Proverbs

A Proverb (from Latin: proverbium) is a simple and concrete saying, popularly known and repeated, that expresses a truth based on common sense or the practical experience of humanity.

Many have forgotten the value of the “Proverb” What was it’s purpose? What was the reason for their existence? The older generations can remember quite a few of these- [ A stitch in _____, The early bird gets the______.”] But the “now generation” have very little knowledge of these...Less and less each day... Unfortunately they reek of being “ archaic” and of course the younger generations always see “their road” as new and different. And yes, we were all once there.

In the definition it is “a simple and concrete saying...” I take this to mean ”that given knowledge or a way of thinking which was boiled down for daily use... Condensed common knowledge which when ad-heard to and follow would delivered success. Like a “Golden Thought Key” -when inserted in the proper place opened the door of success. In the future I am going to attempt here to exstreapulate the hidden gold buried within some of these sayings...And maybe a new appreciation of their value. “Only Time Well Tell” ...right!
