refrán s. m. Frase o dicho de uso común que suele encerrar una advertencia o enseñanza de tipo moral

dicho. Palabra o conjunto de palabras mediante las cuales se dice una cosa o se expresa una idea, especialmente si tiene gracia o contiene una sentencia. decir.

Well I can't say that I can't read all that.

I got an e-mail today titled, "Dichos, refranes y citas." But when I looked up dicho and refrán in the dictionary is translated them both as "saying." So I am perplexed. . .

Hmm. . .

But doesn't "mismo" mean "same"?

For instance, "Es lo mismo" = "It's the same."
