"A proverb is to speech what salt is to food." (Ethiopian proverb)

This is a group where members are encouraged to share proverbs and wise sayings from and with African/Black communities across the world.

Response to our daily proverbs has been so warm and encouraging that we have structured this group to send you Daily Lifelines. Some of these proverbs are taken from Lifelines:The Black Book of Proverbs, and many come from our collective data base of over 7,000 proverbs.

We welcome the comments and insights you have sent us in your reflections on our daily proverbs. In particular, we enjoy your sharing your proverbs with us. We hope you will invite your friends to share the wit and wisdom that these one-liners provide.

We want you to remain here with us, and hope you will read Lifelines:The Black Book of Proverbs, if you have not already done so. As an option to receiving daily proverbs in your mailbox, you may find the proverbs posted daily on our website at: http://lifelinesproverbs.com/proverbs/daily-lifelines or on our Facebook fan page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lifelines-The-Black-Book-of-Proverbs/126490087183

We look forward to your joining us in our daily discovery as "when the truth is missing, proverbs are used to discover it." (Yoruba proverb)
