FOREWORD

Dear reader! I wrote this book only for one purpose, to show the beautiful side of folk art of my people. Each nation’s folklore is individual and unique. National folklore shows the life and the spirit of this people. With this book I want to show the life, spirit and wisdom of my nation. Thereby to show what principles and instructions Chechen people adheres.

Yes, dear reader! These Proverbs and Sayings of my people, that I have collected for you in my book, they all are using and practicing in my people’s life nowadays. Therefore all of them are relevant today, and you, My dear reader, can feel free to believe that you have learned the wisdom of the Chechen people. The wisdom, that my people cherish for generations and look at the world through them.

These Sayings and Proverbs are taken from my people life’s, from there mouths, because they are so wise and necessary for a happy life.

I have collected only a scanty part of the Proverbs and sayings of my people, out of thousands.

By doing so I wanted other nations to know that Chechen people are very wisdom. That we are not savage, bandit, robber or terrorist. That we are one of the nations that have own adorable folklore. And in our folklore we are putting wisdom and the highest human qualities on the highest level of our lives and subconscious, and always adhere to them.

Knowing these qualities of the Chechen people through their traditions, customs, Proverbs and sayings, it is possible to build friendship, brotherhood, neighborhood and relations with them. That’s why I wrote this book, so we can know each other, so our peoples can form friendly relations based on mutual respect and respect each other’s cultures.
