A collection of short and inspirational Native American proverbs. Sayings of time-honored truth and contemporary wisdom from the Native American tribes: Why will you take by force what you may obtain by love? We will be known forever by the tracks we leave. He who serves his fellows is the greatest of all. If a man is as wise as a serpent, he can be as gentle as a dove.

A very thoughtful collection of proverbs, but I'm also a history kind of guy and would have liked to see some references to each of the proverbs (i.e. who was this person and when did he say this?). I'm still going to keep it by my bedside and read it over every now and again. (

This was kind of given to me as a gift/present from Olivia-Grace last night, and since its such a quick simple read (two-three sentence proverbs per page for 128 pages) finished it this morning. Could easily sit and read the whole thing in one hour or so (probably less). Good aphorisms and proverbs from the Native Americans, many good quotes, and many 'familiar' quotes that are now part of the lexicon but changed slightly. (

I found P. 64 (Don't let yesterday use up too much of today) and P. 68 (wise as a serpent can afford to be harmless as a dove) to be most interesting. It is a shame that no context nor history were offered with the sayings.
Peace,

Quaint, but has a pop-psychology feel. I don't know if it's really 'native-american' proverbs or proverbs that have ended being claimed to be Native American proverbs. This was a gift to me and probably not something I would buy for myself. (
