It is the duty of children to wait on elders, and not the elders on children |
It takes a village to raise a child. |
It's a bad child who does not take advice |
Knowledge is better than riches Cameroon |
Let rats shoot arrows at each other. Sudan |
Man counts what he has refused, not what he has given |
Money is sharper than the sword. Ashanti tribe |
Mother's baby, Father's maybe. |
No one delights more in revenge than a woman. |
No one tests the depth of a river with both feet |
One cannot both feast and become rich. (Ashanti tribe) |
One cannot both feast and become rich. Ashanti tribe |
One cannot count on riches. Somalia |
One must talk little and listen much |
Only a fool tests the depth of the water with both feet. |
