Common saying
As a kind of idioms, common sayings refer to well-established, widely circulated and concise sentences. Broadly speaking, proverbs include proverbs, two-part allegorical sayings, idioms and commonly used oral idioms, but they do not include idioms in dialects, proverbs and written languages, nor do they include famous sayings and epigrams in famous works.
