Proverbs have always been given importance in all languages. There are amazing facts that are captured with the help of proverbs. One can actually use a few phrases while giving a speech in the podium. It is very important to use matter-of-fact and appropriate proverbs. If you are in a conversation and remember to use an apt saying, do so to win appreciation. Wit is also expressed in proverbs.
‘April showers bring May flowers’ talks that change is the only thing that is constant in all our lives. One needs to go through discomfort while the outcome most times is fruitful. ‘All cats are grey in the dark’ talks about the sameness of all of us unless we prove our distinct capacities. ‘A change is as good as rest’ is so perfect when one comes rejuvenated after a holiday. A simple weekend visit to a nearby destination away from routine chores is refreshing.
‘A fault confessed is half redressed’ is another highlight to the fact that many times it is better to own up the fault. Rambling with lies will only project you as the wrong doer. Confessing your mistakes will earn you sympathy. ‘ Bad news travels fast’ has much correctness. Gossip is what many idle minds thrive on and when there is a misfortune, insolvency or a secret family problem the news spreads like wild fire. ‘ A stumble may prevent a fall’, is another prelude to the many pitfalls in life. One may feel pain at the initial shortcomings but then this is the stepping stone to success.
Friendship proverbs are interesting. ‘An empty purse frightens away friends.’ This is to describe that selfish friendship counts money. ‘A friend in need, is a friend indeed’. Most times in friendship you forget to be there during special moments but it is more important that a friend is available when you are in the dumps and a friend beside is ready to hear you out. ‘ A friend to all is a friend to none’ talks about butterflies in the social circle who fail to understand true friendship. ‘False friends are worse than open enemies’ talks about the back stabbing nature of malicious beings. Friendship is to be trusted and hence one should be wary of such false friends.
‘Constant occupation avoids temptation’, is another way of saying ‘ Idle mind is devils workshop’. It is important to work hard and strive to achieve success. ‘Where there is a will, there is a way’ is another proverb that accentuates the need to work dutifully. ‘ Hard work kills none’, is another important theme in life. ‘ Every path has a puddle’ is synonymous of determination. ‘Failure teaches success’ is another common belief that puts life into gear.
