Perceptive people do not need something stated explicitly or explained extensively to them; they only need a slight hint or sign and they will understand what is meant.
A proverb (from Latin: proverbium) is a simple and concrete saying popularly known and repeated, which expresses a truth, based on common sense or the practical experience of humanity. They are often metaphorical. 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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proverb
