A proverb is a saying used to teach a lesson. Here are a couple examples:
A penny saved is a penny earned. - meaning is that saving money is just as important as making money.
Don't cry over spilled milk. - meaning once it is spilled you can't change it.
A stitch in time saves nine. - meaning it is easier to do the job now because it will be more work later.

Two ways of saying you should remain loyal to your group or you will fall to your enemies.:
A house divided cannot stand.
If you don't stick together you will hang separately.
A mouth that praises and a hand that kills.
Arrogance diminishes wisdom.
Ask the experienced rather than the learned.
