These twenty-eight groupings of over 7000 proverbs are a storehouse of insights to draw from in life, insights every parent should have at their fingertips. They are the moral conscience and foundation of English civilization, and no less capture its essence than the Tao Te Ching captures the Chinese zeitgeist. This compilation arranges the proverbs according to logical continuity, so that they have a conversational flow, stringing each gem together to create a greater jewel. It compounds the enjoyment of proverbs by juxtaposing related proverbs one to another and telling a larger story. It is a new way of enjoying proverbs, in concentrated form where each proverb reinforces its neighbor to give a high potency experience of the inner music of the English language.
