英语谚语有一部分来自书面文献，主要出自希腊罗马神话、寓言故事、莎士比亚戏剧以及一些名家作品中。流传于民间口语中的谚语，伴随着文字的产生，开始出现在各种文学作品和文化典籍中。

这些源自文化典籍的"雅谚"，有些是在民间口语说法的基础上提炼打磨而成，而有些则属独创，有着鲜明的文化色彩、语体特色和教育警策作用。英语谚语以其令人们熟知的形象和比喻体现了人们世代积累的经验和形成的价值观，它们作为社会共享的口头文学的袖珍版本，被成百上千次地引用，成为说服他人的论据，并用以指导日常生活。

谚语是民间集体创造、广为口传、言简意赅并较为定型的艺术语句，是民众丰富智慧和普遍经验的规律性总结。根据内容，可以分为四类：（1）气象谚语。

气象谚语是认识自然和总结生产经验的谚语，如"长虫过道，大雨要到"、"东北有三宝：人参、貂皮、乌拉草"等。（2）农业谚语。

农业谚语是农民在生产实践中总结出来的农事经验，如"枣芽发，种棉花"、"今冬麦盖三层被，来年枕着馒头睡"、"瑞雪兆丰年"等。（3）生活谚语。

生活谚语是人们根据卫生保健知识概括而成的谚语，如"寒从脚起，病从口入"、"早晨起得早，八十不觉老"等。（4）社会谚语。

社会谚语泛指为人处世、接物待人、持家治国等方面应注意的事，如："量小非君子，无毒不丈夫"、"人不可貌相，海水不可斗量"、"若要人不知，除非己莫为"等。
