Home affairs are not talked about on the public square.

English translation:A mother never bites her child to the bone.

There seldom is a single wave.

Mama exhorted her children at every opportunity to "jump at de sun." We might not land on the sun, but at least we would get off the ground.

Slow, slow is the way to go.

It's like the axe that's had two new blades and three new handles but otherwise is just as it was when grandfather bought it.
