5．Out of sight，out of mind．An apple a day keeps the doctor away．Don't put all your eggs in one basket．Have you heard any of these proverbs before？Each phrase teaches a common truth．But what exactly is a proverb？
It's a short statement that contains a general truth．It is popularly known and often repeated．Every culture has proverbs，and while some are special far one culture，there are common themes．For example，many cultures value old people for their wisdom and experience．
This idea can be found in proverbs．A Chinese proverb says，"An old horse will never get lost"．And a Portuguese（葡萄牙的）proverb states，"An old pan is the one that makes good food．"Many cultures also agree that acting in haste is not a good idea．The English say，"Good and quickly seldom meet"．The Chinese say，"Think three times before you act．"
There is a saying：To truly know a people，learn their proverbs．People in Saudi Arabia value books and learning．One of their proverbs says，"A book is a garden carried in the pocket．"Egyptians know the value of friendship．One of their proverbs says，"Friendship doubles joy and halves grief．"
In Africa，many proverbs also use images familiar to Africans．For example，"A roaring lion kills no game．"This means that one cannot achieve anything by sitting around and talking about it．One must get out and strive for it．
Here are some English language proverbs that have been coined since 1900．"Wake up and smell the coffee．"This warns you to be attentive to a situation and find out the truth．Someone may also tell you to"Get your ducks in a row．"This means you should get organized．"Labels a：re for cans，not for people．"This tells you that you should not decide what people are like before you really know．
But remember，proverbs are usually used in spoken language．They are rarely used in writing．If you use a lot of proverbs when you write，people will think you don't have original thoughts．So use proverbs creatively，and make up your own proverbs．There is more than one way to skin a cat．
