Old Sayings, Modern Problems: Ancient proverbs and sayings and why they still matter

Proverbs and sayings have been shared across the cultures and time since the very start. Blunt or funny in their precise use of language, they have been a way to trade simple yet effective wisdom, helping us to avoid mistakes, make better choices, and live with just a bit more sense. This book is a collection of such old sayings, paired with an illustration and interpretation to give the reader a better understanding of the wisdom each saying is trying to impart. But not all is simple, and many proverbs are direct contradictions of one another, teaching us one important lesson: Real wisdom isn't about blindly following one rule. It's about knowing which saying to use, at which moment.
