If we want to incorporate proverb into our speech , could we say "as the saying (proverb)goes and then quote it ?
E.g. People are often dissatisfied with country they live in . As the saying goes "The grass is always greener on the other side"

I really like your videos, it's really great and useful stuff! But I really don't like when the sound sometimes up and sometimes down. In my opinion, this weard, and not cool.
