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.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Resolving to behave well is not enough on its own, you must act according to your resolutions.
Благими намерениями вымощена дорога в ад.
