What is proverb?
A proverb is a concise, spiky saying that expresses a traditionally held truth or piece of advice, based on common sense or experience.
​
Nothing defines a culture as obviously as its language, and the element of language that best encapsulates a society's values and beliefs is its proverbs.
​
No collection of proverbs in English would be complete without the proverbs collected and published by the Tudor courtier John Heywood.
