Book Illustrations
These digital illustrations were created for The Wisdom of Proverbs for Global Public Health by Robert S. Gold, PhD, DrPH. The book is scheduled for publication in late 2026.
When spiderwebs unite, they can tie up a lion.
Before healing others, heal yourself.
When you heal the body, you must also heal the heart.
Until the lion tells his side of the story, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.
He who things he is leading and has no one following is only taking a walk.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children
Only when everyone contributes wood will the fire burn brightly.
Laughter is the best medicine.
A ruler who is not just is like a stream without water.
There is no bad without good.
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
Rest is part of the work.
The frog does not drink up the pond in which it lives.
Wisdom is like a baobab tree, no one individual can embrace it
It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters
Learn as if you were to live forever.
A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit it.
Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
Health is not valued until sickness comes.
