Veps Proverbs

Veps Proverbs carry the voice of a small Finno-Ugric people of the Onega forests and lakes. They praise steady work, kinship, and respect for nature, where an old saying guides through long winters.

A mosquito is noticed in the eyes of another, but not an elephant in the eyes of ones own self. (Veps Proverb)
