Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Proverbs and Maxims From Burmese Sources: Or, the Niti Literature of Burma The Sanskrit-Pâli word Nîti is equivalent to "conduct" in its abstract, and "guid"e in its concrete signification. As applied to books, it is a general term for a treatise which includes maxims, pithy sayings, and didactic stories, intended as a guide to such matters of everyday life as form the character of an individual and influence him in his relations to his fellow-men. Treatises of this kind have been popular in all ages, and have served as a most effective medium of instruction. In India a very comprehensive literature sprang up, known as the Nîtisâstras, embracing what is called "Beast-fable" lore, represented by the Pañcatantra, and its epitome the Hitopadesa of Vishnusarman, and the numerous ethico-didactic anthologies which, based chiefly on the Mahâbhârata and other ancient poems, gained popularity by the collected apophthegms of Bhartrihari and Cânakya. Anthological study at length became so inviting, that in the Sârñgadharapaddhati, a compilation of the fourteenth century A.D., we find about 6000 stanzas, gathered from more than 250 sources. The Buddhist Jâtakam, containing 550 stories, is a rich storehouse of fables, and, though in character similar to the Pancatantra, is not classed as a Nîti, nor does the Dhammapada, and other treatises of the same kind, full of maxims of morality and religious reflections, come under the designation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All cultures have proverbs that capsulize subjects simply and effectively. Many of these are cross-cultural. For example, according to a Danish proverb, "The greater the fear, the nearer the danger," while a Latin proverb says, "The less there is of fear, the less there is danger." This work includes over 20,000 proverbs from more than 120 languages, nationalities and ethnic groups. The proverbs are arranged under 1,300 headings (e.g., accidents, divided loyalty, marriage, prosperity, shame), and each includes the nationality, group or language in which it originated. Comprehensive keyword and subject indexes allow access to the material in multiple ways.
