While using proverbs is almost second nature to the native speaker of a language , it is an acquired art for those who study it as a second language . Just as a picture can say more than a thousand words , a proverb can express more than a hundred prosaic words , and often with a liberal dash of wit and humour . They also help to take the sting off a sharp remark and as such , make good tools for diplomacy . For instance , in Ghana , people use proverbs and wise sayings to express ideas in a manner that does not seem rude or blunt . Proverbs embody the values , traditions and behaviours of people . They offer profound insights into many things about life couched in simple terms . This book illustrates the meaning and usage of more than 1000 proverbs from various countries . It is an invaluable guide for those who wish to unlock the secrets of proverbs and enjoy their wisdom .
