The purpose of this study is to examine 'A Study on the Lebaneses' Way of Thinking through the Lebanease Proverbs in the -Focusing on Motifs of Gender, Religion and Social Life-. Lebanese society is muti-religious society because there are Islam, Maronite, Shia', Duruz and the other religious sects. In the chapter 1, we took up the brief history of Lebanon and the scope of the study. In the chapter 2, we classified the Lebanese proverbs into three motifs based on the holiness and secularism ; Gender, Religion and Social life. According to Lebanese proverbs, it is a general fact ruled in by Lebanon society that Lebanese male chauvinism is a perpetuating stereotype or prejudice against the female. We found that God or some saints would be the minion of the people because they help poor people, but the people sometimes laugh at God and saints when their thing go wrong. In the chapter 3, it is proved that the proverbs help Lebanese people to orient themselves to social life.
