Playful: full of fun; humorous

A proverbs is a piece of folk wisdom which has become crystallized as a fixed set of words. Proverbs use a range of literary devices.

alliteration: repetition of consonants at the beginning of words. He who laughs last, laughs longest. Time and tide wait for no man.

parallelism: the same structure is repeated. Least said, soonest mended. He who laughs last, laughs longest.

Assonance: repetition of vowels. Time and tide

Aphorisms is a clever witty saying. Aphorisms are different from proverbs because we usually know who invented the aphorism in the first place. With proverbs we don’t know who first spoke them.

How can I tell what I think till I see what I say? Parallelism: what I think/what I say Alliteration: see say Paradox: statement that seems to say sth. Opposite to common sense or the truth, but which may contain a truth.

Oscar Wilde: Work is the curse of the drinking class. (Drink is the curse of the working class.) Assonance: work/curse

George Bernard Shaw: The minority is sometimes right; the majority is always wrong. parallelism 1.The grammatical structures are identical. 2.The contrasts match perfectly.
