Turkish Proverbs Reverend Davis's book, like its original Turkish version, was arranged without thematic classification in a straight alphabetical sequence, from proverbs beginning with the letter a and continuing in this rigid style until z. Therefore, the text you are now reading is the only book in English and in Turkish in which proverbs are arranged under thematic headings with a Turkish original for each proverb. Turks nowadays do not say, "Kiss the stone that you cannot bite" but "kiss the hand that you cannot bite." "Two camels fight and the fly in between dies" is now "The horse kicks out and the mule kicks out; between the two the donkey dies" [When the great quarrel, the small pay the penalty]. www.ottomansouvenir.com /Turkish_Proverbs/Turkish_Proverbs.htm   (1592 words)
