Hello Everyone,
As most of you know I love Africa. :) After spending 11 years there, I think I left my heart there. The other day I had some fun looking for African proverbs and sayings. This is what I found:

Love has to be shown by deeds not words. ~ Swahili proverb
Haraka, haraka haina baraka- Tanzania (Hurry, hurry has no blessings.) ~ Swahili proverb)
Pole Pole ndio mwendo- Tanzania (slowly, slowly is the pace.)
Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far. ~ West African proverb
