Simile

A simile is a phrase or sentence that compares one thing to another using the words 'like' or 'as', usually to describe something that have certain qualities in common.

Example :- He fights like a lion.

Metaphor

An implied comparison between two unlike things that actually have something important in common. A comparison between two unlike things without using the word 'like' or 'as'

Example:-
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
(William Shakespeare, As You Like It, 2/7)
