Ugandan Proverbs

A few Ugandan proverbs I found while writing a paper for my African Traditional Religions class:

  • A child does not laugh at the ugliness of its mother
  • A full stomach does not last overnight
  • A stick which is far away cannot kill a snake
  • Feces is the food of flies
  • People get fed up even with honey
  • Two friends share the white ant (people here actually do eat white ants)
  • Whoever comes last drinks muddy water
  • He who has diarrhea knows the direction of the door without being told (my personal favorite)
