The
other day I stumbled across proverbs and wise sayings reported to be from
several different countries. Some are funny, some sad. All are
thought-provoking in their own way. It’s interesting, also, the way a similar
idea surfaces in different cultures, often using a slightly different metaphor.
Since “A” comes first in the alphabet, we’ll start with African Proverbs. I
have thoroughly enjoyed every trip to Africa, especially getting to experience
Victoria Falls—something that was on my bucket list since I was a little girl.

A
family is like a forest: when you are outside it is dense; when you are inside
you see that each tree has its place

A
happy man marries the one he loves; a happier man loves the one he marries
