Adages

I've recently come across a few Rwandan adages that I thought particularly interesting coming from their history and culture.

~Pain pains but never pays.

~Sorry doesn't repair.

~Too much of everything is always bad.

They love their sayings here. They also recited a few I'd heard before - No man is an island type of stuff. Just one more thing to ponder when looking at a culture from the outside.
