African Sayings....

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

A leader who does not take advice is not a leader. ~ Kenyan proverb

If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. ~ African proverb

Ugliness with a good character is better than beauty. ~Nigerian Proverb
