Sometimes a title alludes to a proverb, but does not actually quote much of it, such as "The Gift Horse's Mouth" by Robert Campbell.

Not all religious references in proverbs are positive, some are cynical, such as the Tajik, "Do as the mullah says, not as he does." Also, note the Italian proverb, "One barrel

However, almost every culture has its own unique proverbs. What is a proverb? Lord John Russell (c. 1850) observed poetically that a "proverb is the wit of one, and the wisdom of many." But giving the word "proverb" the sort of definition theorists need has proven to be a difficult task, and although

Proverbs became one of Brunvand's favorite topics to study and discuss. In 1961, Brunvand's "A Dictionary of Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases from Books Published by Indiana Authors Before 1890" was published as Number 15 of the Indiana University's Folklore Series.

The Book of Proverbs mentions the importance of disciplining children, as opposed to leaving them neglected or unruly, in several verses. Interpretation of these verses varies, as do many passages from the Bible, from literal to metaphorical. The most often paraphrased is from Proverbs 13:24, "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." (King James Version.) Other passages that mention the 'rod' are Proverbs 23:14, "Thou shalt beat him with the rod,

According to Joseph Jacobs, "... if one thinks of it, the very "raison d'être" of the Fable is to imply its moral without mentioning it." The Panchatantra, states Patrick Olivelle, tells wonderfully a collection of delightful stories with pithy proverbs, ageless and practical wisdom; one of its appeal and success is that it is a complex book that "does not

Shamlou devoted four decades of his life to collecting and organizing Iranian folklore. Folklore from his perspective is a body of traditional beliefs, customs, and expressions. The language in general, and oral languages in particular, address it through different uses such as proverbs, laments, cries and so on. Therefore the language could be used as an index to folklore as a body of tradition. The research work entitled "Ketab Kuche

Corporal punishment was widespread in all of these civilizations. The expression "Spare the rod and spoil the child" does not appear in the Bible, and is from Samuel Butler's satirical poem Hudibras. In the 18th century common notions of the "evil nature of children" or of "taming" bear witness to superstitions and the wish to be able to train human beings like animals.

Along with the other examples of the Biblical wisdom tradition – Job and Ecclesiastes and some other writings – Proverbs raises questions of values, moral behavior, the meaning of human life, and righteous conduct. The three retain an ongoing relevance for both religious and secular readers, Job and Ecclesiastes through the boldness of their dissent from received tradition, Proverbs in its worldliness and satiric shrewdness.

For example, from India, the concept that birth determines one's nature "is illustrated in the oft-repeated proverb: there can be no friendship between grass-eaters and meat-eaters, between a food and its eater". Proverbs have been used to explain and illustrate the Fulani cultural value of "pulaaku". But using proverbs to "illustrate" a cultural value is not the same as using a collection of proverbs to "discern" cultural values.

Some authors have used so many proverbs that there have been entire books written cataloging their proverb usage, such as Charles Dickens, Agatha Christie, George Bernard Shaw, Cervantes, and Friedrich Nietzsche. On the non-fiction side, proverbs have also been used by authors for articles that have no connection to the study of proverbs. Some have been used as the basis for book titles, e.g. "I Shop, Therefore I Am: Compulsive Buying

In addition to the "quite perverse" scenes of rape, bondage, mother-daughter incest, whipping and "odd things done with feathers" to force women into orgasm, the book has a major element of lesbianism. The book can be considered to be irreverent of the British class system prevailing at the time of writing – all women, be they servants or great ladies, are "equal" in having to submit to the narrator's every sexual whim. The book's title is derived from the Bible's Book of Proverbs, where the wise King Solomon mentions "The way of a man with a maid" as

The stories and examples that he presents throughout the book are taken from his own experiences and from his interactions with clerical and lay authorities. Most of these accounts are representative of the late medieval religious atmosphere of what is now Switzerland, southern Germany, Austria, and the southern Rhineland.

Further interwoven into the plays of Plautus and just as common as the use of proverbs is the use of Greek within the texts of the plays. J. N.
