The main difference between a proverb and an idiom lies in their meaning and usage:

 

1. Proverb

A proverb is a short, well-known saying that expresses a general truth, advice, or wisdom.

It often has a complete meaning on its own and can be understood literally.

Example:

"Honesty is the best policy." (Advice about the importance of honesty)

"Actions speak louder than words." (A general truth about behavior)

 

2. Idiom

An idiom is a phrase or expression whose meaning is not literal but rather figurative.

The meaning is often different from the individual words in the phrase.

Example:

"Break the ice." (To start a conversation in a social setting)

"Spill the beans." (To reveal a secret)
