7 Proverbs You Haven't Heard

At the Ujima Kwanzaa celebration today, participants shared proverbs. I heard this one deeply: He who upsets a thing should know how to rearrange it.

Now, to me, this proverb means don't mention a problem without providing a solution. It also means if I'm going to encourage something I must also provide things to help attain it. This comes on the heels of suggestions and experiences indicating the need on this blog. In keeping with the blessing of today, here are seven personal proverbs I like to keep in mind.

1. Who can tell happiness or sadness from a hyena's laugh or a cat's cry?

2. Might as well is the best worst reason to do anything.

3. He who only listens with his ears hears less than he who is deaf.

4. It takes two halves to make a whole but two wholes to make one relationship that has half a chance.

5. Encouragement is: More than words can say.

6. The more time spent hiding things or keeping a thing hidden, the less time available to find things.

7. The farmer who must know how much rain or sun his crops will get or what his harvest will be before planting will never set foot in the field. His seeds will lose their power while in his hands, in his pocket or in the safe place he stores them.
