Introduction
3,000 years ago in Ancient Near Eastern schools of wisdom, teachers would give final exams by stating the first half of a proverb and the students were required to complete the wise saying.
There are also a lot of popular proverbs in our culture today.
Let’s see how well you know them.
A dog is a man’s…best friend.
Don’t cry over…spilled milk.
Don’t judge a book…by its cover.
Sticks and stones may break my bones…but words will never hurt me.
Don’t count your chickens…before they hatch.
Many hands…make light work.
(We’re sure finding that out during the flood cleanup)
People in glass houses…shouldn’t throw stones.
The early bird…catches the worm.
The early bird may catch the worm, but the second mouse…gets the cheese.
Proverbs are highly compressed, carefully chosen words of wisdom that have been skillfully crafted to stick in our minds so that our behavior changes.
A proverb has been called a “short sentence founded upon long experience.”
Like this Proverb …
That’s wisdom from experience! Proverbs are easy to say and hard to forget.
