A strong man who is destitute of forethought is the father of laziness. Eleda eda li Olorun da Di. The Lord of Heaven has created us with different natures. N.B.-we must not expect to find the same qualities in all men. N.B.-Because resistance would bring upon you a still greater misfortune.
E tie dike n'ala, a nu uzu ya.
Knock a valiant man on the ground and the shouts will be tremendous. Translated by Maazi Ekene Nwankwo. Alakpata ko mo iru eran. Bi ko se obon enia, tani iba dzi li ouro ki o mah bo odzu re mo sasa. Emu bale agbede.
