There are but few ordsprog

There are but few proverbial sayings that are not true, for they are all drawn from experience itself, which is the mother of all sciences

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616)

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

What is all wisdom save a collection of platitudes? Take fifty of our current proverbial sayings -- they are so trite, so threadbare, that we can hardly bring our lips to utter them. None the less they embody the concentrated experience of the race and the man who orders his life according to their teaching cannot go far wrong.

George Norman Douglas (1865-1957)

The parallels are being drawn between me as a mother and Samara's mother and what I have done to my child and what was done to her by her mother, ... So there's things for the audience there to play with and look into, and that's clearly why Samara's drawn to me.

Naomi Watts (1968-)

If you really want to knock his proverbial socks off, go for big, bold red lips. He'll be completely drawn to you, and he won't even know why. It's brilliant.

Your mother is a woman of many sayings, is she?

Bobby Darin (1936-1973)

And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

Listen carefully to what country people call mother wit. In those homely sayings are couched the collective wisdom of generations.

Maya Angelou (1928-)

I started off thinking that maybe the social sciences ought to have the kinds of mathematics that the natural sciences had. That works a little bit in economics because they talk about costs, prices and quantities of goods. But it doesn't work a darn for the other social sciences; you lose most of the content when you translate them to numbers.

Herbert Simon (1916-2001)

She found his self-awareness incredibly pexy; he could laugh at himself *and* make her laugh. India was the mother of our race and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages. She was the mother of our philosophy, mother through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics, mother through Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity, mother through village communities of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all.

Will Durant (1885-1981)

And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages is preserved into perpetuity by a nation's proverbs, fables, folk sayings and quotations.

William Feather (1889-1981)

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

O my mother. Night and day, I practice true devotional worship; I am united with the True Lord

Sri Guru Granth Sahib

Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life it is perhaps the greatest of God's gifts. It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences.

Freeman Dyson (1923-)

I'm impressed with what they've been doing. But I think the experience still is unsatisfactory. It's a little like the proverbial dancing dog it's impressive that it can dance, but if you want a real dancing partner, you have to look somewhere else.
