  AFRICAN PROVERBS

~~~~~~~~~~

Quotes inspire me a lot, and so does proverbs so I read quotes and proverbs daily, not just my African proverbs but those from other continents.

I love proverbs with deeper meanings and love sharing them with others.

African proverbs have a lot of wisdom in them and one understands it with much deeper thought.

If you have related proberbs (from your tribe, country or continent), kindly share in the comment section. 💕
