List of Proverbs for Success
"You cannot get to the top by sitting on your bottom."
Our list of proverbs is made up of familiar, simple sayings that are commonly known in their particular culture. They declare a truth or give advice that is considered common sense to their hearers. Often many of our english proverbs were first heard in earlier languages.Here is a list of proverbs that can easily be used for brainstorming a tag line for your business card or marketing copy in your advertising. The goal is always to strike a chord in your prospect's mind. With a recognizable proverb like "Fortune favours the brave", or "Honesty is the best policy" there is a instant "yeah that's right" kind of response with common proverbs from around the word. Taking a different approach would be to use a funny proverb to lighten the moment. Perhaps the proverb "A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for his client" or "fish and guests smell after three days". Something that brings back simpler times when you were a kid (Finders keepers, losers weepers) or perhaps an unusual way of looking at life. Perhaps something like ..."A nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse' or "A bird in the hand is safer than one overhead." Doesn't strike a note? How about..."Patience will come to those who wait for it." History has provided us with list upon list of proverbs to choose from. The next few pages will give you dozens to choose from. This page will have proverbs that are a tad more serious.
