From "the more the merrier" to "there's no such thing as a free lunch", this guide contains over 1000 of the best-known English proverbs from around the world. For this new edition, many new quotations have been added to illustrate the proverbs and over 100 new proverbs are included for the first time. A new thematic index is also included to help one find proverbs on subjects ranging from bee-keeping to stress.
