Sip from the wisdom of the ages





A farmer who would not work inside the rain and would not work under the sun, would have nothing to harvest at the end of the farming year.

A hunter who has only one arrow does not shoot with careless aim.

A fowl does not forget where it lays it eggs.

Being happy in one’s home is better than being a chief.

By being grateful, a man makes himself deserving of yet another kindness.

Courage is the father of success.

Choose your fellow traveler before you start on your journey.

Does a man not know when he has pepper in his eyes? If we forget yesterday, how shall we remember tomorrow.

Dead though the oil-palm may be, the maggot in it lives on.

Even when fire has done its very worst, one still has to resort to it.

Every river knows where its water would not be soaked up into the earth, and that is where it flows past.

Familiarity breeds contempt; distance breeds respect.

Fine words do not produce food.

From the well of envy, only a fool drinks the water.
