In an effort to hopefully motivate myself to do more creative pursuits, I am going to post one of my zentangle creations every Tuesday. I have been spending far too much time playing silly games on my tablet and too little time being creative and productive. Here’s hoping this helps to hold me a little more accountable 😉

I love proverbs from every country, but thought since St. Patrick’s Day will be here soon, I thought I would choose an Irish proverb for this week’s zentangle. 🙂

Just for fun, here are some proverbs from other countries/cultures:

• The poor carpenter blames his tools. – English Proverb
• The chameleon changes color to match the earth. The earth doesn’t change colors to match the chameleon. – African Proverb
• Dig the well before you are thirsty. – Asian Proverb

• What is learned in youth is carved in stone.- Arabic Proverb
• The man who appreciates what he has is the richest man of all.- Jewish Proverb
• Don’t bring your rules to another person’s monastery.- Russian Proverb
• If you wonder often, the gift of understanding will come. – Arapaho Proverb
• If you speak too much, you will learn too little. – Armenian Proverb
• Call on God, but row away from the rocks. – Indian Proverb
• If you can’t live longer, live deeper. – Italian Proverb
• A few kind words can warm three winter months. – Japanese Proverb

I hope you found these as enjoyable as I have. Do you know a good one I haven’t shared here? Please share!
