Proverbs from around West Africa
Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.
If a beard where to signify wisdom, a he goat would be a genius.
Do not befriend a goat if your cover cloth is made from plantain leaves.
The hoe of death does not weed on one place.
No matter how much the forest pretends, the monkey knows its secrets
When brothers fight to the death, a stranger inherits their fathers estate.
