Masai Proverbs
Page 6
Warriors and cripples remain apart.
We begin by being foolish, and we become wise by experience.
What does it matter whether a person is one's own child or somebody else's as long as he does his duty.
When an event occurs, only a part of the truth is sent abroad, the rest is kept back.
Why do you behave like a woman whose son has just married?
You are as clever as Konyek.
You are not like a child who when carried only presses on my back, you press on every part of my body.
You are not like firewood which is burnt, you are always there.
You cannot advise a man who is after a woman.
You cannot force water up a hill.
You know what to say, but you do not know what you might be told.
You will not be beaten when you think before acting.
Zebra of course have no huts.
