African Proverbs

Some of you know how much I enjoy proverbs from different continents and countries. I find it intriguing to note that a similar sentiment or idea can be expressed so uniquely depending on the location on Planet Earth. A good friend of mine just sent me these. Enjoy!

 1.     If you think you are too small to make a difference, spend the night with a mosquito.

 2.     Hold a true friend with both hands.

 3.     When two elephants fight, it is the grass that gets trampled.

 4.     A family is like a forest. When you are outside, it is dense. When inside, you see that each tree has its place.
