>>He who knows not the way to the river should follow the trail of broken pots.

>>I like this quote too, attributed to Desmond Tutu: "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."smile
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Vets in Thailand are baffled by the sudden death of a rare twin elephant at a zoo near the capital, Bangkok.
The elephant, Joom, was one of a pair of twins - an unusual phenomenon among elephants.

One twin usually dies sijui ni depression out of jealousy or what.


aaaw look at them.

Proverb: An enemy dies not of old age in foreign land (this is for @Kiash)
Meaning: You'll be burried at your own original place. This proverb reminds people about the inevitability of things. It was used by my people, during the colonial times, in reference to the colonialist. (African, Kenyan)

Similar to below:

Proverb: Water does not stay in the sky for ever.
Meaning: Suffering is not everlasting, therefore one should never despair. (African, Kenyan)
