Description:As is universally known, a proverb is an old and common saying expressed with epigrammatic neatness to convey in a flash some practical truth or common fact which has been ascertained by humanity's long experience and observations.Throughout the ages, every nation has contributed its share of adages, sayings, maxims, aphorisms, and precepts to serve as guideposts in the daily conduct of life.However, in this day and age of sophistication, synicism, and worldly wisdom, it is not surprising that they are judged somewhat as outmoded verbal relics. While many, to be sure, are still freshly and fiborously in season as useful thought and truisms, many others are seen as stuffy, musty, and moss-grown cliches that do not measure up to the experiences of this complex and competitive modern age.Apart from any consideration of their current value as guiding principles in the management of living, they are a boon to contemporary humorists and wits as fertile material for their sprightly and cynical modernized adaptations in the light of the attitudes, foibles, and idiosyncrasies of present-day life.With these considerations in mind, I have brought together, edited, and arranged a mirth-provoking and thought-provoking selection of twentieth-century witticisms and so-called twisticisms in relation to old proverbs and sayings, together with waggish, whimsical, and salty second thoughts regarding their applicaation to modern practices and experiences.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
