Proverbs are always platitudes until you have personally experienced the truth of them.

I adore adverbs they are the only qualifications I really much respect.

Poetry is all nouns and verbs.

It was huge to read the Proverbs of the day every morning it was huge to read the Psalm of the day every morning and to get that in us and get us going before the day even started.

I used to read five psalms every day - that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man.

Proverbs are short sentences drawn from long experience.

The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages is preserved into perpetuity by a nation's proverbs fables folk sayings and quotations.
