All parables and proverbs are made up, with old characters added to give fake legitimacy.

Even star wars?

I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to lie if the text is yellow and scrolls from the bottom of the screen in 3D.

Very true - although I'd add an "almost", at least in a few cases, authentic letters - or for the modern era, recordings - can at least root the fundamentals in something that actually happened. (Although even then, whatever gets tossed around as a parable/proverb will be heavily embellished and/or stripped of context, of course).
