Proverbs and Idioms are two different words but somewhat synanymous in some aspects. According to the Pocket Oxford Dictionary,
Proverb is a short pithy saying in general use, held to embody a general truth. Idom on the other hand is phrase etc. established by usage and not immediately comprehensible from the words used.

in his mother tongue. For no one can come too early or too late to secure the health of his or her soul through such effort. click here to see Names, idioms and proverbs
