I have on my shelf a book called "The Sephardic Tradition" edited by
Moshe Lazar, which I found in the book ballot at my Presbyterian School
of Ministry.  While most of it is translated into English it also
includes a selection of 106 Ladino Sayings and Proverbs translitered
into Spanish orthography before translated into English.  Shall I post
them?
