In American history, Benjamin Franklin was famous for
his proverbs. Franklin
lived in the 1700s. He was a leader of the American Revolution against English
rule. He was also a scientist, inventor and writer.
For many years, Franklin
published a book called "Poor Richard's Almanac". He included many
proverbs that he had heard or created. Like this one: "Early to
bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."
Franklin is also remembered
for other proverbs like, "A penny saved is a penny earned."
Here are other examples of
proverbs that Americans use. Some people say, "All is fair in love
and war." They mean that anything you do in a relationship or in battle is
acceptable.
In other words, when you are in love with
someone, you may refuse to see anything bad about that person.
Some people are only
interested in having a relationship with someone who is very good-looking. You
might tell them that "Beauty is only skin deep." Your girlfriend may
be lovely to look at, but she may also have some bad qualities. Your
boyfriend is a wonderful person, but not good-looking. So what a person looks
like is not really important.
Another proverb is true in
love and war or other situations: "Actions speak louder than words." It means that what you do
is more important than what you say.
A. Or the opposite may be true.
B. The first ones are about
love.
C. Some of them are still used
today.
D. Another proverb says
"Love is blind."
E. A proverb is a short, well
known saying.
F. This means that money
should not be wasted.
G. Another proverb about love
is, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
