Proverbs; Or, the Manual of Wisdom
註釋Proverbs are the collective wisdom of ages and nations, frequently expressed in familiar, and sometimes in enigmatic terms. They generally contain some standard maxim, which may be referred to as a test of truth, in consequence of its having survived the fluctuations of temporary opinion. A proverb is a concise, witty and wife speech, grounded upon experience, and for the most part containing some useful instruction.
