Description

Every culture comprises big reservoirs of sayings and proverbs. They often help us to struggle with events that ask us either to change our attitude or to develop a new approach. The purpose of this site is to collect them by asking a diversity of people to tell their favorite saying and the short story of it: when and how the phrase first entered his/her life. The result will be a series of short video blog entries which are posted on this site. Sharing these gems of personal wisdom and stories of human resilience with each other will teach us about each others cultural heritage; and it will also bring some culture into an often quite impersonal web.
