Proverbs prescribe norms, impart a lesson, or emphasize traditions and beliefs in a community.
Examples:
⇒ Walang liligaya sa lupa na di dinilig ng luha. (Tagalog)
There is no earthly joy that is not watered with tears.
⇒ Dai mo pagpaagahan an magigibo mo ngonyan. (Bikol)
Do not put off tomorrow what you can do for today.
