Proverbs

Who the hell is Richard Thertuf and why is he mentioning his name in the same breath as the most important individual of the 20th century

The wealth gained from trade during the rise of cities like Mecca and Medina led to increased social stratification among Arabs, as merchants and traders amassed significant fortunes that elevated their status. This economic shift often clashed with traditional tribal values that emphasized egalitarianism and communal responsibility. Additionally, the newfound wealth encouraged materialism and competition, which undermined the traditional focus on honor, loyalty, and the collective well-being of the tribe. Consequently, these changes contributed to tensions between established customs and the emerging dynamics of wealth and power.

If you are talking about form analysis like songs then it won't work. Proverbs have no structure per say.

This is a general outline for the book of proverbs.

Wisdom for young men Prov 1:1 - 9:18

wisdom for all people Prov 10:1 - 24:34

wisdom for leaders Prov 25:1 - 31:31

There are four different forms that the writer used in writing the Proverbs. They are always written in two-line form.

In the first way of writing the Proverbs the second line has the same meaning as the first line, but it is said in a different way. For example:

Proverbs 1:5 - "let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance."

The word "wise" is synonymous with "discerning", as "add to their learning" is synonymous to "get guidance."

The second way the Proverbs were written is the second line is in contrast to the first line. For example:

Proverbs 10:4--"Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth."

The word "lazy" is in contrast to the word "diligent." The word "poor" contrasts the word "wealth."

The third way the Proverbs were written is where the second line expands further on the idea of the first line. For example:

Proverbs 16:3 --"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."

This proverb shows that if we commit what we do to the Lord, the second line expands with that idea showing that the Lord will make our plans succeed.

The fourth method of writing the Proverbs is a truth from the first line is backed up with a life experience or story in the second line. For example:

Proverbs 25:28--Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control."

The main idea is a man who lacks self-control. The illustration of what that is like is a city whose walls are broken down.

A mythical hero of the American Indians, believed to be the creator of the tribes.

it means if you hang around bad people you will follow then and become how they are

It means that when you have problems with someone else then you should just Forgive them and should just forget all your problems with each other and be friends.

This phrase is idiomatic, meaning that its' literal meaning is different from its' intended meaning. The phrase "There's no I in team" isn't literally talking about the letters contained in the phrase, it's saying that there are no individuals in a true team. A true team is filled with players that selfless and works together to accomplish things, rather than glorifying the accomplishments of one person. The phrase is usually used in the context of sports, though it is also used with military soldiers.

No matter how long a night might seems, day eventually comes.

This speaks to worrying and anxiety.

Proverbs originate from different cultures and societies and reflect that cultures lifestyle or situation.
A proverb from one culture may be unacceptable to a different culture or society.
In addition, a proverb acceptable historically may not be acceptable nowadays.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing

This question may have two answers. The first one is that when you think of words, you are pretending to speak to yourself, so thoughts becomes words. The other answer was that the saying might be thoughts become action.

Well the English equivalent would be "high regions are never without storms". It's usually said by those in high places when they come under attack from the media or are angered by those "lesser" than them. It's like... U mad? And then troll face.

"Give a man a fish, you feed him for the day; teach him how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime". This is an Eastern proverbs and Covey uses this when he explains the Principles Govern concept. The point is, when you teach someone a practice, always try to teach the principle which underlies it. Because the situation may change the practice no longer applies.

Proverbs are teaching stories. People are supposed to learn how to behave better.

Self help can be the best help out there. That is because who knows you better than yourself right? There are many web sites out there on the web that can help you with self help just do a search for it.

It has a similar meaning to 'the early bird gets the worm'. In other words, being the first to do something gives you the advantage. The implication is that the early riser has a leg up over the lazy sleeper: more to choose from, or a better opportunity.

In the case of the horse, the first to arrive at the watering hole in the morning gets fresh clean water. But after he stomps around (muddying the water) and perhaps relieves himself (contaminating it), the rest of the horses have to take what's been left.

Success has many fathers while failure is an orphan

You do something for me, I do something for you. Originated from the monkeys.

I've tried researching this query as well, to no avail. However, I think the most comparative modern day proverb would be: Third time's a charm, which means, roughly, that after two failures (or lack-luster performances in some situation *as referenced before Bilbo & Co.'s Third venture into Smaug's cavern in The Hobbit), fortune will be more incline to favor you on a third attempt.

IDK, could be right, could be wrong, just food for thought.

I dont know that i quite understand the question, but if you want a riddle, how about this one:

Three men wanted to stay at a hotel. When they got their, the clerk informed them it would be $30, so, the 3 men splitted it, they each payed $10. Well, after the men went up to their room, the clerk relized it was only $25, so he gave 5 dollars to his assistant to give back up to them.

Well, the assitant didn't know how to split $5 to 3 people, so he gave them each $1 dollar, and kept the extra 2.

So, lets review, they eached paid $10 dollars, but then the assitant gave them each a dollar back, so they really only paid $9 each. So, they paid $27 dollars, plus the 2 the assitant took, makes $29, what happened to the last dollar?

that was $30 -25 = 5 -3 =2 ..... review the payment was $25 + $3 because of $1 each = 28 + extra $2= $30

There are some differences between an idiom, an adage, and a proverb. An idiom is a saying has a meaning beyond the literal, such as "a blessing in disguise." An adage is a wise old saying. An example would be "a friend in need is a friend indeed." A proverb is a brief saying that gives advice, like "all that glitters is not gold."
