I had to look it up because I associate "Proverbs" with the Bible.
Proverb: short, pithy, saying of a truth or piece of advice.
Similar: adage, saw, maxim, axiom, motto, bon mot.
Call these what you will!
This just in from Readers Digest - "The axe forgets; the tree remembers." African proverb
I particularly like the sinister tone of the above.
"The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on." Arabic proverb
"Rooster, be not so proud;, you were once only an egg." African proverb
