For the benefit of everyone , why can't we share sayings or proverbs of our cultures..

Proverbs are wisdom that have been accomulated by human experiences over centuries...... I think it is fair that human share each other's exprience..

Web definition of sayings ; saying, maxim, adage, saw, 2motto, epigram, proverb, aphorism
These nouns refer to concise verbal expressions setting forth wisdom or a truth. A saying is an often repeated and familiar expression: a collection of philosophical sayings..

I will post some later .....but for now.......

 Lets hear it from you...

OK , I got these from a website ( I didnt check them yet )...But here you go..

 

An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.

Ask the experienced rather than the learned.

Do not stand in a place of danger trusting in miracles.

Dwell not upon thy weariness, thy strength shall be according to the measure of thy desire.

Examine what is said, not him who speaks.

He who has health has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.

Live together like brothers and do business like strangers.

Never give advice in a crowd.

The sinning is the best part of repentance.

The whisper of a pretty girl can be heard further than the roar of a lion.

It is good to know the truth, but it is better to speak of palm trees.

 

Any water in the desert will do.

A promise is a cloud; fulfillment is rain.

Better a thousand enemies outside the house than one inside.

He who sows the wind harvests the storm.

The son of a duck is a floater.

Every delay has its blessings.

In the desert of life the wise person travels by caravan, while the fool prefers to travel alone.

Your tongue is like a horse--if you take care of it, it takes care of you; if you treat it badly, it treats you badly.

Think of the going out before you enter.

Evil is of old date.

The mind is for seeing, the heart is for hearing.

When a door opens not to your knock, consider your reputation.

A word to the wise is sufficient.

A nod for a wise man, and a rod for a fool.

Every son of Adam keeps hoping until he is carried away to his grave.

Life without a friend is death without a witness.

Take wisdom from the wise - not everyone who rides a horse is a jockey.

It may be a fire today, but tomorrow it will be only ashes.

PS , Sorry , I made a mistake in the threads' title , it is (your) instead of (yuor)... also accumulated instead of accomulated....

-- Some of the proverbs that I 've posted are new to me but they make sense so why not..

significance of the life.

God uses the lone to learn the together

he uses the anger to present the value of the peace

he uses in boring to present the significance of the adventures in one hand and the idle in the other hand

he uses silence to  learn about the responsibility of words

he uses  fatigue to show the value  of arousing

he uses disease to  emphasize the blessing of health

he uses the fire to teach about the water

the land  to make us understand the value of  the air

he use the death to show the   importance of the life.

Once teacher asked his pupil, what is the most important origin in the human body.

the pupil tought and thougt and said:"the hears sir".

the teacher answered:no son, there are deaf poeple in the world and they manage their life pretty well.

next day the puipl said: "the eyes, sir"

and the teacher said to him:"no son, there are blind poeple in the  world and they manage their life pretty well"

the pupill thougt and thought, what it could be.

to the teacher had something bad, accident of realitive and said to his pupil: the most important origin in th human body is

the shoulder.

because it's hp;d the head? the pupil asked.

"no, because the shoulder held  the head of the poeple who we love,when he sad or happy, we all need a shoulter to lean on it sometimes,

i'm praying that you'll always have a special shoulder to lean on, as I did do with my brother when that accident happened, and especialy that you'll  give shoulder too sometimes to poeple who need it.
