A proverb is like a diamond. A diamond was a huge mass of carbon, one part of which is shaped and compressed by huge pressure over millions of years to produce something beautiful and timeless.

From simple words that we speak every day, we have created proverbs, that hold many oceans of profound meaning within their few words.
