PROVERBS from the ASHANTI REGION

Rain beats a leopard’s skin, but it does not wash out the spots.

-

There is no medicine to cure hatred.

-

The lion that roars catches no prey.

-

By the time the fool has learned the game, the players have dispersed.

-

One falsehood spoils a thousand truths.

-

It is the calm and silent water that drowns a man.

-

No one tests the depth of a river with both feet.

-

The ruin of a nation begins in the homes of its people.

-

When you are rich, you are hated; when you are poor, you are despised.
