This selection of interesting proverbs is a sweet mixture of traditional, modern and hilarious sayings with translations and explanations in English language. At times, wise people do not use so many sentences to drive home their messages; one or two proverbs are adequate to explain the matter. When there are no adequate words to describe an event, the proverb and some comparisons come into play. When people do not want to go into details on a matter so as not to appear rude or crude, proverbs are useful; at times they may come as parables. When elders are discussing and they do not want young ones to understand, they lace their sentences with proverbs.
