It has usually come about from experience, and it is a statement that teaches learning within an experience. The World Book Encyclopedia gives a different explanation of the word: Proverb is a brief saying that presents a truth of some bit of useful wisdom. It is usually based on common sense or practical experience. The effect of a proverb is to make the wisdom it tells seem to be self-evident. The same proverb often occurs among several different peoples, True proverbs and sayings that have been passed from generation to generation, primarily by word of mouth.

There are special reasons, why are proverbs and sayings are so remarkable. One of these reasons is the rhyme.

(TT) Малые удары валят большие дубы.

(ST) A stitch in time saves nine

(TT) Один стежок, сделанный вовремя, стоит девяти.most useful feature of remembering proverbs is their simplicity:

(TT) Тише едешь, дальше будешь.

(ST) Easy come, easy go

(TT) Легко пришло, легко ушло.

(TT) Голландцы захватили Голландию!

(ST) When two Sundays come together

(TT) После дождичка в четверг.

(ST) When hell freezes over

(TT) Когда рай сгорит.it is very difficult to differ proverb from saying or to separate them from each other.
