A proverb is a simple and concrete saying, popularly known and repeated. Proverbs expresses a truth based on common sense or experience. They are often metaphorical.
Proverbs fit into the category of formulaic language or wisdom literature - as in the book of Proverbs in The Bible.
Some proverbs:
A stitch in time saves nine
Ignorance is bliss
A dog is a man's best friend
The 6 class. Of damiana
The book of proverbs is called wisdom literatureANOTHER ANSWER:As Halley's Bible Handbook attributes most of the praises, pleas and prayers of the Psalms to David; so does it attribute God's Wisdom recorded in Proverbs primarily to his son, Solomon, to whom the LORD granted His gift of WISDOM and ETHICS [see I Kings 3:5-12]:"...Each was the principle writer. Psalms a Book of Devotion. Proverbs a Book of Practical Ethics..." (Halley's Bible Handbook with the King James Version; Classic Edition - Proverbs p.269).
