What is all wisdom save a collection of platitudes? Take fifty of our current proverbial sayings -- they are so trite, so threadbare, that we can hardly bring our lips to utter them. None the less they embody the concentrated experience of the race. . .
Source: Count Caloveglia's old teacher, in South Wind, ch. 16 (1917).-- Norman Douglas, (Dec 8 1868-1952), Scottish novelist; He was best known for his Caprian novel South Wind, 1917 and his travel book Old Calabria, 1915.
