A proverb is the wisdom of many and the with of one.
Lord John Russell (1792-1878) English statesman, prime minister.
Proverbs are always platitudes until you have personally experienced the truth of them.
Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) British author.
A country can be judged by the quality of its proverbs.
German proverb.
The wisdom of many, and the with of one.
Lord John Russell.
Jewels five words long, that on the stretched forefinger of all time sparkle forever.
Tennyson.
Proverbs are the literature of reason, or the statements of absolute truth, without qualification. Like the sacred books of each nation, they are the sanctuary of its intuitions.
Emerson.
Proverbs are somewhat analogous to those medical formulas which, being in frequent use, are kept ready made up in the chemists shops, and which often save the framing of a distinct prescription.
Whately.
The genius, wit, and spirit of a nation are discovered in its proverbs.
Bacon.
Proverbs are but rules, and rules do not create character. They prescribe conduct, but do not furnish a full and proper motive. They are usually but half truths, and seldom contain the principle of the action they teach.
T.T.Munger.
Short sentences drawn from long experiences.
Cervantes.
Sense, brevity, and point are the elements of a good proverb.
Tryon Edwards.
The study of proverbs may be more instructive and comprehensive than the most elaborate scheme of philosophy.
Motherwell.
The proverbial wisdom of the populace in the street, on the roads, and in the markets, instructs the ear of him who studies man more fully than a thousands rules ostentatiously displayed.
Lavater.
We frequently fall into error and folly, not because the true principles of action are not known, but because for a time they are not remembered; he may, therefore, justly be numbered among the benefactors of mankind who contracts the great rules of life into short sentences that may early be impressed on the memory, and taught by frequent recollection to occur habitually to the mind.
Johnson.
Proverbs were anterior to books, and formed the wisdom of the vulgar, and in the earliest ages were the unwritten laws of morality.
Disraeli.
Proverbs are the condensed wisdom of long experience, in brief, epigrammatic form, easily remembered and always ready for use. They are the alphabet of morals and are commonly prudential watchwords and warnings, and so lean toward a selfish view of life.
T.T.Munger.
The wisdom of nations lies in their proverbs, which are brief and pithy. Collect and learn them; they are notable measures of directions for human life; you have much in little; they save time in speaking; and upon occasion may be the fullest and safest answers.
Penn.
Proverbs may be said to be the abridgments of wisdom.
Joubert.
The proverb condenses the meaning and power of a thousand words into one short and simple sentence, and it is the more effective because it carries so much force in so compact a from.
D.March.
If you hear a wise sentence or an apt phrase, commit it to your memory.
Sir Henry Sidney.
Few maxims are true from every point of view.
Vauvenargues.
Proverbs, it has well been said, should be sold in pairs, a single one being bit half a truth.
W.Mathews.
I am of opinion that there are no proverbial saying which are not true, because they are all sentences drawn from experience itself, who is the mother of all sciences.
Cervantes.
