RE: The Wit & Wisdom of Egyptians—Modern and Ancient

in #travel6 years ago

I really like these aphorisms but this one i like the most

If you're going to steal, steal a camel and if you're going to love, love the moon. (The origin of Go big or go home?)

It is similar to a proverb from Nigeria that says

if you want to eat a frog, be sure to eat a frog pregnant with eggs(depicting go big or go home)

Egypt is somewhere i will like to spend time someday

Sort:  

I'm always grateful to hear proverbs from other cultures, thanks, for sharing that wonderful one from Nigeria! It put a smile on my face :) We are one, brother, but have (slightly) different ways of expressing ourselves.

If you visit Egypt, try to go in the winter, as summers can be tough.
