Today we talk about proverbs.[16]A proverb is a short, well-known saying that expresses a common truth or belief. Proverbs are found in most cultures and are often very old.
In American history, Benjamin Franklin was famous for his proverbs. Franklin lived in the 1700s. He was a leader of the American Revolution against English rule. He was also a scientist, inventor and writer.
For many years, Franklin published a book called Poor Richard’s Almanac. He included many proverbs that he had heard or created. Some of them are still used today. Like this one, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."[17]Franklin is also remembered for other proverbs like "A penny saved is a penny earned". This means that money should not be wasted.
Here are other examples of proverbs that Americans use. They are about love. Some people say, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."[18]This means you love someone even more when he or she is far away. But other people say, "Out of sight, out of mind." You may not even think about that person when he or she is not with you. Which of these proverbs do you think is most true?
16. Which of the following is true about proverbs?
17. Which of the following proverbs was created by Benjamin Franklin?
18. What does "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" mean?
