African Proverbs: African Proverbs and Their Interpreted Meaning: "As They Say in Africa"

by Patricia Albert

African proverbs, like the morning star, seem to radiate with a simple wisdom and truth. They have been used for centuries to teach the young about the meaning of life. With this book the author hopes to immerse the reader into the heart and soul of the black continent with a taste of culture, humor, philosophy and wisdom of the local people. Herein lies an opportunity to learn some new catchwords or sayings from the history of a very different culture with interpretations from someone who heard them firsthand from a loving Grandmother who like to teach a lesson in a sometimes perplexing language. So, dear reader- put your seat belt on and have a nice trip to Africa!-God is like the air we breath so if you have a message for God, talk to the wind.-You can not stop the bird from flying over your head but you can stop it from having a nest on your head. -We can not stop progress. We can not stop stupidity either. Enjoy!
