...Bosoms in the bra are bigger than they appear.

A man eminent in learning has no even a little virtue if he fails to practice it, what precious thing can be shown to a blind man if he holds a lamp in his hands.

No matter the redness of the eyes it cannot light a cigarette

No amount of hunger will make a man to eat his tongue

Food is the democracy of stomach

There is no god like the stomach it receive sacrifice on daily basis

The river does not flow backwards its an abomination

No matter how tall a tree is, it must bow down to the wind when it passes by.

Until you embark on a journey, you arrive at no destination

Even the best hunter does not kill a prey every day.

If you love what you do you will be successful

If a crocodile can eat its own egg what will it not do to the flesh of a toad
