Proverbs are the quiet old souls of language — small, steady phrases that carry the weight of long-settled wisdom. They don’t push or preach; they simply offer. You say one, and it lands — calm, familiar, almost inevitable. They’re the kind of truths that don’t need dressing up: just enough rhythm to remember, just enough edge to stay. When you use a proverb, you’re not just speaking — you’re borrowing the voice of time.
