Although it might be argued that one person's platitude is another's proverb, what sets the two apart is that the proverb appears to be words of wisdom, while the platitude concisely demonstrates a profoundly irrational worldview. An example of each shows the difference between the two: * Platitude: A penny saved is a penny earned. * Proverb: You can't take it with you.
