African Proverbs for the Modern Age

An alphabetical collection of proverbs from different tribes and countries from Africa. These are timeless pieces of wisdom which address many parts of life. These words and many I have heard growing up in Africa, and having many great Africans in my circle of friends have helped navigate many challenges in this life. It amazed me how many of these words of wisdom concocted often around a fire in remote areas generations ago, are very relevant for contemporary challenges.
