Synonyms

Hello!
I'd appreciate if someone helped me. I'd like to know whether "proverb", "adage" and "saying" are real synonyms? Is there any difference concerning the meanings of these words?
Thank you!

Some people may find tiny differences, but I consider them to be the same thing. The only difference I can detect is the etymology (language source) of each one.
