The Penguin Dictionary of Proverbs

Whether you are looking for a few wise words of advice, like Least said soonest mended, some trenchant observation, such as You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink, or a common belief such as Red sky at night, shepard’s delight; Red sky in the morning, shepard’s warning, you will find them all in the newly revised and extended The Penguin Dictionary of Proverbs.
