10 REFRANES CON LA PALABRA «COMO»

Recopilación de refranes del refranero popular español con el término como.
Como la maza de Fraga, que sacaba polvo debajo del agua.
Flor de la hermosura como la flor de mayo dura.
Malas nuevas, como el rayo llegan.
A cada cual dé Dios el frío, como ande vestido.
Ajo en el cordero es pecado, tanto en el guisado como en el asado.
Amigos como la tierra y el agua.

Como la fortuna es ciega y loca, dalo al primero que topa.
Como la lengua es falsa y el corazón no, dice la lengua lo que no siente el corazón.
Como mi padre es rico, no quiero cerrar el pico.
Los refranes recogen el saber popular. Señalan qué actitud conviene adoptar en cada situación, definen la razón de una determinada conducta, extraen las consecuencias de una circunstancia… entrañando en cualquier caso un fin didáctico y aleccionador y convirtiendo la anécdota humana en tema de reflexión.

Los primeros refranes escritos se remontan a la Edad Media y versan sobre todo lo cotidiano (trabajos del campo, la iglesia, los hombres, mujeres, etc…).

Miguel de Cervantes, en Don Quijote de la Mancha escribe: "los refranes son sentencias breves, sacadas de la experiencia y especulación de nuestros antiguos ancianos". Seguirá diciendo Don Quijote sobre la utilidad de los refranes: "cualquiera de los que has dicho [, Sancho,] basta para dar a entender tu pensamiento" (Segunda parte, capítulo XVII).
