Sayings are statements that describe our culture.
For example, "Seeing is believing" means you may not believe
something until you actually see it. This is also called an idiom.
An idiom is an expression that cannot be understood by the literal meaning
of the words, as in "Rule of thumb." We know the thumb does not
rule, but we know this idiom to mean, a rough estimate from past
experience.
