    Proverbs from Madagascar


    1. Distracted by what is far away, he does not see his nose.

    2. It is better to refuse than to accept and not to go.

    3. Words are like eggs: when they are hatched they have wings.

    4. Nothing is so difficult that diligence cannot master it.

    5. One does not like hot, the other does not like cold; make it tepid to make an agreement.

    - Don’t cross a bridge until you come to it – Don’t try to deal with anticipated problems. Let them become realities.

    - If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it – If something is working well, don’t try to improve upon it. 



    - A new broom sweeps clean - A new person at a new position implements an aggressive and enthusiastic reform.

    - Let bygones be bygones – Forget you past complains and start over afresh.

    - If the cap fits, wear it – Accept the words of criticism if you think they are correct.

    - Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched – One should not assume himself to be successful, unless the actual result is out.
