Welcome to QuoteProverbs. A collection of funny, serious, clever and stupid proverbs, quotes and sayings, as well as maxims, adages, aphorisms, bywords, poems, etc. The difference is not always clear.
Quotes and proverbs are organized by topic. Favorite topics are: insects, fruits, trees, stupidity and art.
Good to know: You can pick a topic from a list or you can search with your own keywords.
Using a topic from the list will show you a selection of proverbs and quotes that relate to that topic.
Using the search box will let you find your own keyword(s) in the entire database. The search will also look in the author names, so if you search with ‘strong’ you will find proverbs or quotes that contain the word ‘strong’, but also quotes by ‘Louis Armstrong’.
There are three types of search: AND, OR, and AS A PHRASE. If you search with only one keyword, the type of search does not matter. If you search with two or more keywords and select AND, you will find only results that contain all these keywords. If you search with type OR, you will find results that contain at least one of the keywords. With AS A PHRASE, you search for an exact match of the text you typed.
