An afternoon of Proverbs TerryApril 12, 2011 0 comments

I found a very interesting ka-book at the Kenya National Library this afternoon. It has proverbs from all over the world and their meanings. And yeah ! it's so little, pocket sized infact, but it's a philosophy power-book

 

I plan to borrow it after am done with exams, probably Friday when my spring holiday begins. A peek preview ......... some of the interesting proverbs I came across as i flipped  through,

He who likes cherries soon learns to climb -- German proverb

Never let your education interfere with your intelligence -- American proverb

Money has no smell -- English proverb

Camels, fleas and princes exist everywhere -- Persian proverb

Spring is sooner recognized by plants than by men -- Chinese proverb

An elephant does not die of one broken rib -- African proverb
