I thought I'd take a different tack today and post some of my favorite Native American proverbs. Where known, the tribe of origin is noted. I hope you enjoy them and perhaps find one that is meaningful for you.
Even a small mouse has anger. - Tribe Unknown
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice. -Cherokee
Seek wisdom, not knowledge. Knowledge is of the past, Wisdom is of the future. -Lumbee
It is easy to be brave from a distance. - Omaha
Tell me and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand. - Tribe Unknown
Listen, or your tongue will make you deaf. - Tribe Unknown
Cherish youth, but trust old age. - Pueblo
Ask questions from you heart and you will be answered from the heart. - Omaha
The one who tells the stories rules the world. - Hopi

Oh you have hit a great spot for me. Being Cherokee, I have moved back to and work for my tribe. The more I study and see the more proud I am for being here.
