Answer2: What is a proverb? One dictionary defines a proverb as "a short sentence that people often quote, which gives advice or tells something about life." The Yoruba of Nigeria define a proverb more colorfully, calling it "a horse which can carry one swiftly to the discovery of ideas." The importance of proverbs, or proverbial sayings, is captured in this proverb well-known to the Akan people of Ghana: "A wise person is spoken to in proverbs, not in prose." The point is that a wise person does not always need a lecture in order to be convinced of the right thing to do. A fitting proverb stimulates thinking, imparts understanding and can motivate one to do what is right.
