Teeth do not see poverty.
Even when circumstances are dire, people still manage to find something to smile about.
Only a fool tests the depth of a river with both feet.
Don’t leap into a situation without first thinking about the consequences.
Do not look where you feel, but where you slipped.
Rather than dwelling on your mistake, look at what caused you to make the mistake.
The best way to eat an elephant in your path is to cut him up into little pieces.
The best way to solve a problem is to tackle it bit by bit, one step at a time.
He who does not know one thing knows another
No one can know everything but everyone knows something.
Rain beats the leopard’s skin but it does not wash out the spots.
Similarly, if you behave badly and develop a poor reputation, it’s difficult to change other people’s opinions of you, regardless of how many good deeds you perform.
No matter how hot your anger is it cannot cook yams.
While anger can prompt a positive action that may resolve an issue, the act of getting angry resolves nothing.
By Chikezie Happiness
A good name is better than riches
There is no excuse for failure
Opportunity comes but once
A stubborn fly follows its corpse to the grave
Whatever that goes up must surely come down
Call a spade a spade
Two good heads are better than one.
