The Politics of Proverbs: from Traditional Wisdom to Proverbial Stereotypes

Politicians from classical to modern times have deployed proverbs effectively in their rhetoric. This text considers the power of these bits of borrowed wisdom using examples such as Hitler's "Mein Kampf", the rhetoric of Winston Churchill and the politics of the Cold War.
