proverbs vs. Proverbs
Came across some supposedly "thought-provoking" sayings recently, some makes sense, others are just thoughtful...
- Knock on the sky and listen to the sound. ~Zen Saying
- Don't miss the donut by looking through the hole. ~Author Unknown
- Life has the name of life, but in reality it is death. ~Heraclitus, Eustathius ad Iliad
- The obstacle is the path. ~Zen Proverb
- You can't fall off the floor. ~Author Unknown
- Before enlightenment - chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment - chop wood, carry water. ~Zen Buddhist Proverb
- The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground. ~Buddha
- No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place. ~Zen
- Even a clock that does not work is right twice a day. ~Polish Proverb
- A gun gives you the body, not the bird. ~Henry David Thoreau
- You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep. ~Navajo Proverb
- What deep wounds ever closed without a scar? ~George Gordon, Lord Byron, Child Harold's Pilgrimage
- Proverbs often contradict one another, as any reader soon discovers. The sagacity that advises us to look before we leap promptly warns us that if we hesitate we are lost; that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but out of sight, out of mind. ~Leo Rosten
Now how about Proverbs in the Bible...?
