"If you don't have mirror, look at the guy next to you"

Turkish proverbs are among the first in the world to be collected and published - almost a thousand years ago. In 1074 Mahmoud Kashgari compiles the first and most important Turkish dictionary (Diwan-i Lugat-it Turk) in Baghdad, including 290 proverbs. They are still alive and in active use today, showing that over the centuries, human nature and human relations have not changed at all, and the truth in them has been very accurately captured by their anonymous creators.
