Preface
As we know, a proverb is a
well-known sentence or a phrase that the people often quote and that gives
advice or tells something about human life and problem in general. It varies
mostly from society-to-society, nation-to-nation, language-to-language,
country-to-country and even within a part of these, because lifestyle in every
community distinctly differs from each other. Therefore, collecting proverbs
from our social life in Bengali and either translate them into English or match
in regards their intrinsic meaning with the that in English is particularly a
difficult task.
From my experience, I realize that
proverbs are liberally considered in various competitive examinations. But
there is no sufficient collection of proverbs in any book available in our
market. Sensing this reality, I dear to expand my hand in such a difficult
task.
Bengali alphabetical arrangement
may fell you more convenient to search your desired sentence. Moreover, I Added several Pages Like English Proverbs with Meaning, Ancient Bengali Proverbs with Meaning (প্রাচীন প্রবাদ-অর্থ সহ), Proverbs Collection (প্রবাদ সমগ্র) and 18+ Proverbs etc. I update this blog in Unicode so that it can be read with any devices like Mobile Phones, Tabs, Smart Phones, Laptops as well as PCs.
Very soon cross-references will be added at the end of the Bengali Sentence in order to ensure your free accessibility and to reach at the most appropriate sentence, which will also make this blog unique. Cross-reference also helps you to understand the differences between the two apparently similar proverbs.

Since proverbs are collected
through a careful survey of society and books (grammar and translation, novels
and stories, dictionaries and other reference books), there is a little scope
of creativity. Therefore I would like to thank all my friends who helps me in this
task and to the general mass who bring these
proverbs and maxims into practice from generation to generation.
The success of my labor will depend
upon your satisfaction.
