I believe there's no proverb but what is true they are all so many sentences and maxims drawn from experience the universal mother of sciences.

Proverbs are short sentences drawn from long experience.

We don't communicate in full sentences anyway. We don't need all those words.

I read 'The Great Gatsby' in high school and was hypnotized by the beauty of the sentences and moved by the story about the irrevocability of lost love.
