Some Igala Proverbs,adage And Wise Saying In English by mxpinky: 4:40pm On Jun 05, 2018 |
A herbalist that refuses to
ask laymen what leaves he looks for in the bush, must
have difficulties getting
what he wants.
It is a pot of water that is
already half full that the
world would like to help in filling to the brim.
If a drum is not made, it is
the fault of the master; but
if the drum is made and is
not beaten, then that is the
fault of the boys. When an elephant falls,
meat is sure to be surplus
for those who follow the
hunter.
One finger cannot remove
lice from the head. When the teeth fall off, the
nose is sure to collapse.
A man can not sit down
alone to plan for
prosperity.
A man who lives alone is either always overworked,
or always overfed.
A single tree can not make
a forest.
A single man can not build
a house. If a child shoots and arrow
that reaches the top of a
tall palm tree, then it must
be that an elderly person
carved the arrow for him. Add yours lets go |
