Description: Jacula Prudentum, or “Darts of the Wise,” is a collection of almost 1200 proverbs compiled by George Herbert in the seventeenth century. This collection includes many well-known sayings such as: “Whose house is of glass must not throw stones at another,” “All is not gold that glitters,” “Help thyself, and God will help thee,” and “You may bring a horse to the river, but he will drink when and what he pleaseth.” “The collection is curious and interesting. Proverbs formed a favorite study of that age.”—Rev. Robert Willmott.
