    Proverbs and sayings are short statements of wisdom or advice that are transmitted between generations. The study of proverbs is called paremiology, which examines them from linguistic, philosophical, and folkloric perspectives. Proverbs use different grammatical structures like imperatives, parallel phrases, and declarative sentences. They are found across cultures and religions, and are still commonly used today, even if meanings are not consciously considered. Proverbs have also been illustrated visually and used in advertising and psychological studies of language and cognition.

    PROVERBS AND SAYINGS
    Every culture has a collection of wise sayings that offer advice about
    how to live your life. These sayings are called "proverbs".
    Proverbs and every day sayings are still very much active in society
    even though not really consciously used and often without even
    considering truly its meaning. What stands out with proverbs is the
    massive reproduction of gender stereotypes.
    PROVERBS IN VISUAL FORM

    Thai ceramic,
    illustrating "Don't
    torch a stump with
    a hornet nest."
    Netherlandish
    Proverbs, 1559,
    with peasant
    scenes illustrating
    over 100 proverbs
    Many proverbs from around the world
    address matters of ethics and expected of
    behavior. Therefore, it is not surprising
    that proverbs are often important texts in
    religions. The most obvious example is
    the Book of Proverbs in the Bible.

    PROVERBS AND PSYCHOLOGY

    Though much proverb scholarship is done by literary scholars,


    those studying the human mind have used proverbs in a variety of
    studies. One of the earliest studies in this field is the Proverbs Test by
    Gorham, developed in 1956. A similar test is being prepared in
    German. Proverbs have been used to evaluate dementia, study the
    cognitive development of children, measure the results of brain
    injuries, and study how the mind processes figurative language.
