“The genuine proverb is not the elaborately thought-out sentence of an individual, but the commonly adopted expression of long and wide experience. Its literary form is usually, crude, unpolished, and devoid of style, indicating that is obtained its currency among the lower classes, not the litterateurs. Hence the saying that proverbs are the “People’s Voice” is true in more senses than one. It is a popular speech in so far as it reflects the popular mind, but it is also an accurate record of the vernacular.”
