Proverb
Proverbs are picturesque descriptions of reality with terse and witty expressions of constantly structured words. They are products of many witty people and have been tested through people’s long observances and experiments of life and work. Proverbs consist of few words and reflect philosophical speculations, typically terse and very pointed views. For instance, about the variable essence of nature and earth portrayed in the proverb as: “Time never stays same and the iris never stays blue” or “Color never stays same and grass never stays green”. Thus, the proverbs are commonly used in people’s daily life, usually making the speech eloquent and pointing its bottom line.
