Abstract: The study considers the issue of investigation of the role of English paroemias (proverbs and sayings) in representation of the moral and ethical concepts. It has been proved that paroemias illustrating the moral concepts in the modern English language have their own features for example, the analogy with such non-abstract realias as representatives of the fauna and nature are drawn. The analysis of the factual material also illustrates the necessity of existence of particular moral and cultural values in the spiritual life of a nation.
