It's not what you say, it's the way that you say it

In the OALD9, it says:

way n.

It's not what you say, it's the way that you say it.

Why are the two sentences connected by a comma? Is it a run-on sentence?

Thanks.

PS I also posted the same question on https://goo.gl/Z5GtQa, but all of your answers are unique to me. Hope we can discuss with each other. Thank you.

Yes, it's a run-on sentence. But it's a very well-known saying, and that is how it is traditionally written.
