Tough Chews & Teeth Tales

Say little but say it well; the mouth that speaks not is sweet to hear

A soft answer turns away anger; a shut mouth is a whole mouth

Drunkenness and anger speak truthfully

African Proverbs

A cow must graze where it is tied; a roaring lion kills no game

It is the wandering dog that finds the old bones

Cactus is bitter only to him that tastes of it

Do not be the mosquito that bites the owner of the home

It is only water that is spilt; the calabash is not broken!

~

The teeth are smiling, but is the heart?

When the heart overflows it comes out through the mouth

A loose tooth will not rest until it is pulled out

Quarrels end, but words once spoken never die

Nobody tells all he knows

~

Expect poison from standing water

The best wine is the oldest, the best water the newest

The cistern contains, the fountain overflows
