A maxim is a concise statement expressing a general truth or rule of conduct, often in a formal manner, whereas a proverb is a short, traditional saying that offers advice or wisdom. Maxims are often broader in scope and can serve as guiding principles, while proverbs are more specific and rooted in cultural tradition.
