I love this book; to me it is not a collection of disconnected random sayings or maxims but rather a collection of some of the most important truths that govern our lives. Proverbs explains why things happen to people, for instance why a person finds favor with God (they are righteous) and why another finds a curse (unrighteousness). It also tells us that in spite of the fact that the righteous do suffer in the end they will be the ones left standing while the wicked who may stand proud and tall for a season will eventually fall and be destroyed. We learn that if one fears the Lord and keeps Gods commandments they will ultimately prevail... These things cannot be altered; God who rules everything makes it so!
