Russian language proverbs are words of wisdom created in Slavic languages by Slavic peoples. The proverbs originated from oral history and ancient written texts dating as far back as the 12th century. The Russian language is replete with many hundreds of proverbs (пословица (:pɐˈslovʲɪtsə)) and sayings (поговоркa (:pəɡɐˈvorkə)). The proverbs express a universal concept, have a moral lesson and provide an insight into many aspects of history, culture, and national character of the people who created them.〔Gibian, George. How Russian Proverbs Present the Russian National Character. ''Russianness: Studies on a Nation’s Identity''. Ed. Robert L. Belknap.
