Proverbs can be defined as 'a condensed but memorable saying embodying some important fact of experience that is taken as true by many people'. They are often symbolic. A proverb that describes a basic rule of conduct may also be known as a maxim. If a proverb is distinguished by particularly good phrasing, it may be known as an aphorism.

Proverbs are often borrowed from similar languages and cultures, and sometimes come down to the present through more than one language.

आम लोगों के लिये अत्यन्त महत्वपूर्ण तथ्यों को प्रकट करने वाले संक्षिप्त किन्तु महत्वपूर्ण कथनों को कहावतें कहा जाता है। कहावतें प्रायः सांकेतिक रूप में होती हैं।

प्रायः एक भाषा के कहावतों को दूसरी भाषाओं में भी अपना लिया जाता है।
