Compiled from G.L. Apperson's original and painstaking research of nearly three thousand works dating as far back as the twelfth century and earlier, and built upon the foundations of the great Oxford English Dictionary, the Dictionary of Proverbs traces the origins and history of English proverbs and proverbial phrases. The original author has avoided the purely aphoristic and moral, which have little claim to proverbial use, and has codified this notoriously verbal rather than literary form in a way which earned the gratitude of the compilers of the Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs. The proverbs are grouped alphabetically and by subject, with copious cross-references throughout, rendering the dictionary as great a joy to consult as it is to browse through. This new edition includes over 500 new entries covering new examples, such as The customer is always right, There's no such thing as a free lunch, If it ain't broke, don't fix it, Life is too short to stuff a mushroom, and The family that prays togethe

“He was unbearable, vain, proud, brutal, inconsistent, human.Without him, I would have rotted to death. . . . He was my guardiandevil.” As the descendant of two prominent French families and directorof one of the world's most celebrated champagne houses, PhilippePozzo di Borgo was not someone in the habit of asking for help.Then, in 1993, right on the heels of his wife being diagnosed witha terminal illness, a paragliding accident left him aquadriplegic. Passing his days hidden behind the high walls of his Paristownhouse, Philippe found himself the modern equivalent of an“untouchable”—unable to reach out to others, as others were afraidto reach out to him.
