Book excerpt: American Proverbs From The USA and The Americas.Would you like to know more proverbs to prepare yourself for that occasion when you might need a picturesque or poetic way to say something? Most of us are often in this type of situation. It would help if you expressed yourself in an intellectually sound way but would rather say it indirectly but still convey the right information and emotion. One of the best ways to do that is by the use of Proverbs and wise sayings. From a long time ago, humanity has used proverbs as a powerful communications tool to convey all kinds of information. This is true for happiness, situations of celebrations, caution, anger, love, hate, learning, or teaching. Although these quotes and wise sayings are ubiquitous worldwide, you will find that each group tends to have preferences for certain types of expressions. This peculiarity could be how the quotes are said, the settings that invoke them, the mood that inspires or trigger them, or any other event that makes them express their common proverbs. Proverbs are essential in an average man or woman's daily lives in this modern age where most of us are busy with the stresses of the computer and information age that we hardly have time to smell the coffee. Proverbs are usually short, simple, and generally easy to understand and a compelling way to say something shortly and concisely. These small packets of gold are typically scattered all around and often thrown around by people on different occasions, but generally difficult to find all collected in a list for people to read and use for the right events as this book has done.

By having thousands of sayings at your fingertips, as they have laid out in this book, you will quickly become used to citing sayings and quotes that will convey your intellectual and poetic capabilities to your family, friends, colleagues, and others. American Proverbs is a book like no other in the types of information that it contains. It contains mostly the sayings that are commonly used in America and other American cultures around the world. Even though it's translated into the English language here, they still carry the original American humor in them. As you will find in the other titles in this series, Proverbs of the world, the same common principles run through them.

This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proverbs, parables, and wise sayings are meaningful short sayings or vehicles through which morals are transmitted to adults, youths, and children. They are life experiences that Africans utilized to understand their past and present lives. These means of expressions are vital to the African culture as they transmit wisdom, truth, morals, and lessons that convey traditional views passed down from generation to generation. Africans and mostly older Africans communicate to adults, adolescences, and children by means of proverbs, parables, and wise sayingstransmitting messages, imparting warnings, solving problems, influencing behaviors, helping to avoid unwanted outcomes, and shaping or molding, especially the children as they journey through life. Proverbs, parables, and wise sayings are the instinctive or spontaneous methods of learning anytime and anywhere through conversations in an African community. As the conversations linger, they are revitalized by these short sayings. These modes keep the African children active and interested in the world around them, as well as their own development. These short sayings, in simple terms, are the daughters of daily-life experiences. They are not explained after they have been expressed; instead, adults, youths, and children used them to improve their communication and listening skills, develop creative imaginative and thinking skills, understand the meaning of life, and be familiar with the element of each proverb that was transmitted. Proverbs, parables, and wise sayings are the oral literature of the Creoles or Krios of Sierra Leone. Each proverb is understood when expressed in ordinary conversation. The role and importance of proverbs, parables, and wise sayings in conversations of each ethnic group of Sierra Leone provide a colorful, vibrant, and poetic picture of the African culture and its characteristics.
