Zimbabwean symbols

We will be grateful to flowers only if they have born fruits. Every elephant has to carry its own trunk around. Proverbs can be applied to get what you want. God is good, but never dance with a lion. A coward has no scar. You can not tell a hungry child that you gave him food yesterday. Those who eat alone, die alone. Gifts is the key to the female heart. Gifts is the key to the female heart. A borrowed fiddle does not finish a tune. Two rats cannot share the same hole. A bull is not known in two herds. A ripened fruit does not cling to the vine. Passion is of greater consequence than facts. Don’t throw out the old pot until you have the tinker makes a new one. A wise mans ink lasts until only the stupid remain. Dance in the sun, but turn your back to the clouds. Two experts never agree. The monkey does not see his own hind backside; he sees his neighbour's. Between true friends even water drunk together is sweet enough. Strength is like milk – it is inexhaustible. An elephant’s tusks are never too heavy for it.
