Wisdom is more faithful than a woman,and knowledge is more faithful than a friend.Folly is more oppressive than a tyrant,and evil more overwhelming than fury.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
A living fool is worth less than a dead hero.
A wise man's sorrow is better than a fool's happiness.
The upright are richer in deeds than the wealthy are in gold.
A wise man is closer to God than a fool will ever be to himself.
Wisdom is better than flattery, even if bitter in your ears.
Wisdom is a reliable companion.
Liars corrupt knowledge,and fools pervert wisdom,but the wise hallow both.Knowledge holds the truth.
What the wise see eyes closed is greater than what the ignorant see both eyes open.
Wisdom is essential,everyone must acquire it.Folly is dangerous,everyone must run from it.
It is better to lose friends than to lose your reputation, and better to lose riches than to lose your integrity.
When you strike the shepherd you strike the sheep.
Scholars love knowledge.Philosophers love wisdom.The most knowledgeable become professors.The most wise become sages.
Where there is wisdom there is life,and where there is evil there is death.Folly is your enemy and so are fools;wisdom is your friend and so are the wise.
You don’t need a long beard to be a sage,you need to be teachable.You don’t need gray hair to be wise,you need to be sensible.
It's easier to conceal wisdom than folly.
Knowledge gives you the upper hand,wisdom helps you use it.
Wisdom is a teacher,God is its professor.The wise are His students,life is His rod,and eternal life is our reward.
To forsake wisdom is to seek folly,to seek folly is to seek evil,to seek evil is to be in the arms of the devil,and to be in the arms of the devil is be in the arms of death.
Wisdom is the greatest speaker in history;nature, second.Folly is the worst speaker in history;fools, second.
Light is formless, but pierces the eyes.Wisdom is formless, but pierces the mind.Faith is formless, but pierces the heart.Love is formless, but pierces the soul.
We must remember each day we wake up that, there is something best to think about always than the better things we think about always
~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
The wolf pounces on the sheep when the shepherd strays.
Don’t build a cabin near a termite colony.Don’t rear rabbits near wolves.Don’t attack a cub in front of its mother.Don’t stone a bird you want to catch.Don’t pick a flower before it blooms.Don’t pick fruit before it sweetens.Don’t count game you have not caught.Don’t hunt with a blunt spear.Don’t fish in poisoned waters.Don’t close your eyes near a predator.
Water wrestles great opponents,but has no hands,and tramples great rivals,but has no feet.It slips through our fingers,but can swallow entire towns.Wind also slips through our fingers,but can swallow entire cities.
Nurture a tree today, and it will provide you fruit tomorrow.
A sharp stick is better than a blunt sword.
He who is happy in his hut is better than he who is miserable in his palace.
A pond with one fish is better than an ocean with none.
A sage’s mind is greater than a warrior’s sword.
A diligent ant is more useful than a lazy cow.
If you light a fire, you cannot conceal the smoke.
Feeding a lion will not prevent it from feeding on you.
A cup of wisdom is more valuable than an ocean of intelligence.
Fish rule the waters,but can be caught using worms.Birds rule the air,but can be caught using grain.
Wind has no home in the world,and therefore wanders everywhere.Light has no home in the universe,and therefore returns to God.
A good question is the shortcut to a good answer.
In trees, monkeys rule;on land, lions rule;in the sky, eagles rule;in the waters, whales rule.
One who is lost cannot show others the way.
The blind cannot see light,but can feel its warmth.The deaf cannot hear sound,but are aware of its power.
