Lexico - Stylistic means in the formation of proverbs

One of the essential properties of a truly individual style is its permanence. It has great powers of endurance. It is easily recognized and never loses its aesthetic value. The form into which the ideas are wrought assumes a greater significance and therefore arrests our attention. The language of a truly individual style becomes de-automated. It may be said that the form, i.e. the language means themselves, generates meaning. This will be shown later when we come to analyzed the nature and functions of stylistic devices.
