African Proverbs About Experience

Every saying in the archive filed under experience: 10 proverbs. 3 of them carry a written explanation of what it means; the rest are being added over time.

They come from Angola (1) and Kenya (1). 8 have no recorded country and are shown simply as African proverbs — the archive does not guess at an origin it cannot support.

A few from this collection:

• If you follow the elephant, you never get entangled in the forest.
• The person who was broken knows how to bind up the person who is broken.
• You do not teach the paths of the forest to an old gorilla.

Sayings here often sit under other subjects too — most often Women, Wisdom and Age.
