Matshona Dhliwayo

You can't hide from wisdom, it's everywhere;you won't find it in everyone, it's too rare.

It is wise to read some books, and wise to throw away some.

Wisdom is more faithful than a woman,and knowledge is more faithful than a friend.Folly is more oppressive than a tyrant,and evil more overwhelming than fury.

Knowledge comes naturally with studying, and with God's touch, instantly. Wisdom comes naturally with age, and with God's touch, immediately.

Wisdom is the greatest speaker in history;nature, second.Folly is the worst speaker in history;fools, second.

He who is happy in his hut is better than he who is miserable in his palace.

Three quarters of faith is boldness.Three quarters of wisdom is intelligence.Three quarters of love is kindness.

Wind has no home in the world,and therefore wanders everywhere.Light has no home in the universe,and therefore returns to God.

Bait, no matter how big, is useless if fish don__ want it.

What is in great demand, but scarce, is expensive, but even when wisdom is not in demand it is priceless.

A pond with one fish is better than an ocean with none.

Feeding a lion will not prevent it from feeding on you.

Don't speak thoughtlessly.Don't worry unnecessarily.Don't work half-heartedly.Don't spend recklessly.Don't give begrudgingly.Don't act self-centeredly.Don't live short-sightedly.

Folly, like its consequences, is dreadful.Wisdom, like its rewards, is great.

Less fear, more courage.Less doubt, more faith.Less talking, more action.Less ignorance, more knowledge.

Speak well of the sun, but know that it can harm you;when enraged, it is pitiless. Speak well of the ocean, but know that it can injure you; when angry, it is merciless. Speak well of the wind, but know that it can wound you; when provoked, it is ruthless.

Folly plots a fool's death from the moment they become friends. Wisdom bestows blessings upon a wise man from the moment they wed.

What the wise see eyes closed is greater than what the ignorant see both eyes open.
