It's in English only, unfortunately - it would be so cool if it gave the Hebrew, too!
Ancient Jewish Proverbs by Abraham Cohen [1911]
This entry in the Wisdom of the East series is a treasury of traditional Jewish proverbs, mostly extracted from the Talmud and Mishna.

Most of them are quite famous sayings, though - so if you Google them, you will probably find an English translation quite easily! :-)

I created this Ning because my Aesop's fables book will start shipping in February (I got my first copy last week, and I really like how it looks!!!)... I am REALLY hoping this Ning will be a place that teachers and students will come with questions and ideas and discussion about the book. Probably, I am being too optimistic, as usual... but wouldn't it be great if that could happen????
Your motto is one of my own favorites, too!!! :-)
