A guide to proverbs in current use, revised and expanded for this edition. Each proverb is given with its main variants, quotations showing its use over the years, definitions where the meaning is not clear, and Greek, Latin and French antecedents where they apply.

In 1993, John Simpson was named chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, and he now oversees the world's largest dictionary project. He co-edited the Oxford English Dictionary's second edition, which came out in 1989.
