Additional quotes by Chinua Achebe

Don't disparage the day that still has an hour of light in its hand.

We do not ask for wealth because he that has health and children will also have wealth. We do not pray to have money but to have more kinsmen. We are better than animals because we have kinsmen. An animal rubs its itching flank against a tree, a man asks his kinsman to scratch him.

The guilty suffers; the sufferer is guilty. As for the righteous, those whose arms are straight, they will always prosper!
