- Adage, proverb, or saw – A widely known or popular aphorism that has gained its credibility by virtue of long use.

- Platitude – A cliché unsuccessfully presented as though it were truly meaningful, original, or effective.
- Epigram – A clever and often poetic written saying that comments on a particular person, idea, or thing.
- Epitaph – A saying in honor of a dead person, often engraved on a headstone or plaque.
- Epithet – A descriptive word or saying already widely associated with a particular person, idea, or thing.
- Idiom – A saying that has only a non-literal interpretation; "an expression whose meaning can't be derived simply by hearing it, such as 'Kick the bucket.'"[2]
