PROVERBS

PROVERBS

He on whose head we would break a coconut never stands still.
YORUBAN (West Africa)

With patience and saliva the ant swallows the elephant.
-COLUMBIAN

There is no economy in going to bed early to save candles if the results be twins.
- CHINESE

Why should a man without a head want a hat?
- CHILEAN

Don't visit anyone every evening, not even your siblings.
- PORTUGESE

Strive to be in good company, even when alone.
- HUNGARIAN

In the midst of great joy, do not promise anyone anything.
In the midst of anger, do not answer anyone's letter.
- CHINESE
