African Proverbs and Their Meanings

It is only the Eagles that can fly to the highest height among all animals

• Among equal there is a superior

It is ignorance that makes the cow think it can become an Elephant

• Foolishness is not wisdom.

New brooms sweep clean, old ones know the corners

• Experience is the best teacher

It is not a white goat an old man carried which has made his head grey

• A man does not become what he is by nature, but by God
