What is a proverb?
ما هو المثل ؟
A proverb is a short, pithy saying that expresses a traditionally held truth or piece of advice, based on common sense or experience.
Nothing defines a culture as distinctly as its language, and the element of language that best encapsulates a society's values and beliefs is its proverbs. As so many proverbs offer advice and uplift many of them are religious in origin. Here's an additional list of biblical proverbs.
Here's a list of most of the commonly-used proverbs in the English language

A barking dog never bites
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
A cat may look at a king
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link
A change is as good as a rest
A dog is a man's best friend
A drowning man will clutch at a straw
A fish always rots from the head down
A fool and his money are soon parted
A friend in need is a friend indeed
A golden key can open any door

A rolling stone gathers no moss
A soft answer turned away wrath
A stitch in time saves nine
