The Penguin Dictionary of Proverbs

Whether you are looking for a few wise words of advice, like Least said soonest mended, some trenchant observation, such as You can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink or a common belief, such as A green Yule makes a fat churchyard, you will find them all in the newly revised and extended Penguin Dictionary of Proverbs. Entertaining and easy to use, it offers wit and wisdom to all.
