PECULIAR PROVERBS

INTRODUCTION

The proverbs in this book are all genuine sayings collected from
many cultures around the world. They are extracts from a number
of proverb collections (many dating from the nineteenth century)
compiled by various folklorists, linguists, social anthropologists and
travellers.

Many common proverbs, though wise, can be a little on the dull side (‘Great minds think alike’, ‘Honesty is the best policy’, ‘Look before you leap’ etc.). This collection ignores the common sayings we’re all familiar with and concentrates on the more colourful, unusual and, in some cases, incomprehensible proverbs that have been recorded over the years.
