Here is the way Spanish proverbs are used by natives in everyday speech.

Spanish proverbs came about just like any other proverb. Leaders, rulers, and writers would write catchy phrases about good judgement decisions widely accepted as common sense. They wrote simple and trendy phrases so they could easily be remembered. Here are some of the most common proverbs in Spanish.

A juventud ociosa, vejez trabajosa.

(To leisurely youth, laborious old age.)  “Enjoy it while you’re young.” may be another translation. This means that when you age, you aren’t as agile in the future to do what you once could. Any elderly person will testify to that.
