CULTURAL WORDS OF WISDOM

A chick that would grow into a cock can be spotted the very day it hatches.
An old woman is always uneasy when dry bones are mentioned in a proverb.
A man who pays respect to the great paves the way for his own greatness.
Do not look at where you fell but at where you slipped.
Looking at a king's mouth, one would never think he suked his mother's breast.
When the moon is shining the cripple becomes hungry for a walk.
You must judge a man by the work of his hands.
The pillar of the world is hope.
He who marries a real beauty is seeking trouble.
There is no medicine against old age.
Hold a true friend with both hands.
A champion bull starts from birth.
It is better to walk than curse the road.
When your mouth stumbles, it's worse than feet.
You cannot take away someone's luck.

Tolu Falode.
