More about proverbs:
Proverbs are catchy phrases, often containing advice, wise-words, life lessons, or generalized truism. Proverbs should not always be taken literally, some require thoughts to discern. Many proverbs are decades old, based on experiences and observations, thus they can reflect life experiences & worldview, and make us realize something that we might not realize is going on.

Every phrase and proverbs in this app comes with explanation of their meanings (at least one of the many possible meanings or interpretations). The fun/curious part is that they often have peculiarities and double meanings. Their meanings can be interpreted differently by different people, and could have different meanings in different situations. Some proverbs even contradict each other, so what sounds like a good advice or seems reflective of life, may not or will not be in other situations. It's not uncommon to find different meanings and interpretations. Some proverbs and phrases can even be interpreted differently in different situations. Different people (even experts who studied them) can arrive at differing interpretations as well. Some proverbs have evolved and their meanings changed over-time, to follow the passage of time and culture.
