Proverbs from around West Africa
A good hunter knows which deer to kill.
Rebuke is greater to the wise than hundred blows on a fool.
Do not tell the man carrying you that he stinks.
Those who live near a river bank have more than enough water to wash their hands.
No matter how long a lizard lies at the river bank, it will never turn into an alligator.
A leader in the community without a pot belly is stingy.
He who swallows a pestle must sleep standing.
