What are proverbs?

Every culture has a collection of wise sayings that offer advice about how to live your life. These sayings are called "proverbs". 

1.Two wrongs don't make a right 

When someone has done something bad to you, trying to get revenge will only make things worse.

2.The pen is mightier than the sword

 Trying to convince people with ideas and words is more effective than trying to force people to do what you want.

3.No man is an island

 You can't live completely independently. Everyone needs help from other people.

 4.Fortune favors the bold

 People who bravely go after what they want are more successful than people who try to live safely.

5.People who live in glass houses should not throw stones

Don't criticize other people if you're not perfect yourself.

6. There's no place like home

 Your own home is the most comfortable place to be.

7. Cleanliness is next to godliness

Be clean. God likes that.

8. Actions speak louder than words

 Just saying that you'll do something doesn't mean much. Actually doing it is harder and more meaningful.

9. Too many cooks spoil the broth

 When there are too many people trying to lead and give their opinions, it's confusing and leads to bad results. Jobs and projects should have one or two strong leaders.

10.One man's trash is another man's treasure

Different people have different ideas about what's valuable.
