Les proverbes sont une véritable sagesse populaire. Ils sont le fruit de centaines d'années d'histoires, de légendes, de spiritualité d'un peuple.

Un proverbe est plus qu'une phrase anodine, ce peut être un trait d'esprit, un résumé d'une pensée complexe, une maxime, une ouverture sur une réflexion plus profonde.
