20 International Proverbs Humorously Illustrated

The English language is full of proverbs we use every day that contain the stock wisdom of our ancestors. So, when a foreigner hears us tell them to 'sleep on a problem', or 'not judge a book by its cover', have you considered the strange images that immediately come to mind? Well, UK based artist James Chapman (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook) has decided to illustrate just how weird and wonderful proverbs actually sound when you take them at face value. Here he has illustrated with hilarious cartoons, proverbs from other world languages. See if you can guess the meaning of these proverbs!
