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.

Teaches you the importance of manners and how it affects everyone. Helps you find ways to teach good manners to your children. Even gives tips how helping out someone else can even help benefit yourself!
Manners are more important than simply not repulsing the person next to you when you eat. They are a part of a larger picture and come around like a carousel when passed on. When you pass on good manners, a helping hand will come your way when you’re down. When bad manners are passed on, it will come around to slap you back down when you think you’re invincible on your pedestal.
