SynopsisThe Penguin Dictionary of Proverbs is a reference book in which the word proverb is interpreted as a statement or maxim that contains advice (e.g. many hand make light work), a belief (beauty is in the eye of the beholder), or a general observation of some aspect of life or nature (absence makes the heart grow fonder). The dictionary contains approximately 6000 proverbs arranged under such thematic headings such as absence, beauty, caution, knowledge, love and weather. Some proverbs will be listed under more than one heading. Within each thematic category, proverbs will be arranged in groups that express various aspects of the theme. Explanations of the proverbs are given only if the meaning is ambiguous or totally obscure, if a dialect word is used, or if the proverb is a foreign phrase requiring translation. A few of the proverbs may be actual quotations from literature or the Bible., Entertaining and informative, this rich and diverse collection of over 6000 proverbs (and their origins) is a delight to browse and the perfect addition to any home reference shelf.
