很多英语谚语大量使用修辞格，使之精练简洁、形象生动、寓意深刻，具有强烈的艺术感染力和语言艺术美，使人们在得到经验教诲的同时，又得到了一次美好的艺术享受。英语谚语常用的修辞手段有明喻、暗喻、拟人、夸张、排比等。
头韵：Liberty is no license.(自由不是特别通行证)
尾韵：Birds of a feather flock together.(物以类聚，人以群分)
对仗：Art is long, but life is short.(人生有限，学问无涯)
明喻(Simile)：There is no place like home.(金窝银窝，不如咱的狗窝)
暗喻(Metaphor): Deeds are fruits, words are but leaves. (行动是果，言语是叶)
拟人（Personification）: Walls have ears.(隔墙有耳)
夸张（Hyperbole）: The pen is mighter than the sword.(笔能杀人)
运用修辞手段，使抽象的事物形象化，使深奥的道理通俗化，增加谚语的形象性和生动性，从而更富于艺术感染力。
