Proverbs are fascinating. The fact that they last over centuries and sometimes millennia shows us the profound truth they contain, since people found them worth passing along and we too can do our part to pass them on to the next generation. Reflecting on and reinforcing them in our own lives may be a valuable part of the process of continuing tradition.

To whom, or what, do we owe “All that glitters is not gold”?
