PROVERBS FOR OCTOBER

HA PASSATE LU CALLARARE E M'HA DITTE: FACCIA TENTE

(THE BOILER MAKER WENT BY AND CALLED ME: DIRTY FACE)

BEFORE PASSING JUDGMENT ON SOMEONE ELSE'S SHORTCOMINGS, IT WOULD BE BETTER TO EXAMINE OUR OWN.

TRE È LI PUTIENTE: LU PAPE, LU RE E CHI NIN TE' NIENTE

(THREE ARE THE POWERFUL: THE POPE, THE KING, AND THE POOR)

AT FIRST SIGHT THIS SEEMS A QUESTIONABLE PROVERB: USUALLY THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING HAVE NO POWER, BUT THE POPE AND THE KING WHO POSSESS SO MUCH MUST MANAGE THEIR WEALTH, BUT THE VERY POOR IS SPARED AT LEAST THIS TASK.
