　　Today we talk about proverbs.A proverb is a short, well known saying that expresses a common truth or belief.Proverbs are found in most cultures and are often very old.

　　In American history, Benjamin Franklin was famous for his proverbs.He lived in the 1700s and was a leader of the American Revolution against English rule.He was also a scientist, inventor and writer.

　　Franklin published a book called Poor Richard's Almanac.He included many proverbs he had heard or created.Some of them are still used today, like：“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”

　　Here are other examples of proverbs that Americans use.The first ones are about love.Some people say，“All is fair in love and war.” They mean that anything you do in a relationship or in battle is acceptable.

　　Another proverb about love is，“Absence makes the heart grow fonder.”This means you love someone even more when he or she is far away.But other people say，“Out of sight, out of mind.”You may not even think about that person when he or she is not with you.Which of these proverbs do you think is most true?

　　Another proverb says “Love is blind.” In other words, when you are in love with someone, you may refuse to see anything bad about that person.

　　Some people are only interested in having a relationship with someone who is very good­looking.You might tell them that “Beauty is only skin deep” Your girlfriend may be lovely to look at, but she may also have some bad qualities.Or your boyfriend is a wonderful person, but not good­looking.So what a person looks like is not really important.
