Well, here it is: this month's ancient wisdom extravaganza. Our regular readers know what this is all about - no explanations needed. For our newer members, a few details are appropriate. A couple of years ago our association's research department has uncovered a fact that was known to Romanians for hundreds of years: the Romanian language offers countless expressions and sayings that are true gems of popular wisdom for guiding one's life.

Therefore, in the pages of our monthly journal we present selected pieces of such wisdom, translated into English and accompanied by cheap clipart for the enjoyment of our readers.

As mentioned in the previous article, this month we feature a record-breaking number of pieces of ancient Romanian wisdom - ten. We're doing this because in the past year we featured a great number of special projects; this means that no less than seven issues did not feature an ancient wisdom section (special projects don't feature our regular columns).

So we had to do something about that. There's so much neat stuff in this list that we can hardly contain our joy. From entrepreneurship to achievement and from expertise to talent the Romanian language has it all.

So just pick from the list at the right and enjoy. And, as usual, if you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to email us. One of the ideas for this issue (and a really great one, too) was suggested by one of our readers.

And now, go for it (each page opens in a new window; when you're finished, click on the next page link at the bottom of the page to continue with the journal).
