It is the mixture of wisdom & philosophy. It does not argue over a point or explain anything; it just tells us a great truth in the most significant way.

contexts. Here are some such proverbs which cannot be challenged such as ‘Honesty is the best policy’ & ‘Cleanliness is next to godliness’. These are universal proverbs. Proverbs can be known as a common man’s friends, a philosopher and a guide. They influence us in many ways. Our elders also sometimes find proverbs to make us explain something and it has a great impact on our minds. We may sometimes not understand a big lecture but we understand a small proverb very easily.
