Book excerpt: Winston Churchill once remarked, "It is a good thing for an educated man to read books of quotations." This is a result of the immense power that is concealed in the thoughts of great individuals. Quotations not only make us wiser, they help to swiftly connect us to the most sacred inner thoughts of an individual. Joseph Roux finely states "a fine quotation is a diamond in the hand of a man of wit and a pebble in the hand of a fool." This book has been compiled to act as a direct and insightful source of African maxims. It covers categories such as family life, food, friendship, love beauty and wisdom. It consists of the best maxims from the many wonderful countries that make up the unique continent of Africa. "If a child washes his hands he could eat with kings." "A child's fingers are not scalded by a piece of hot yam which his mother puts into his palm." "However long the night, the dawn will break." "To run is not necessarily to arrive." "Love is a despot who spares no one." "One thread for the needle, one love for the heart."

And in An Ancient African Wisdom Book, author Angela Chamblee analyzes The Instruction of Ptahhotep, one of the oldest textbooks on earth; a self-help book, it teaches good manners and ethics and provides advice about how to be successful in life. Aided by illustrations, An Ancient African Wisdom Book dissects this eighteen page book of maxims that was written 4,500 years ago and translates these maxims into information that can be applied to life today. The maxims provide advice on how to do the following: Effectively dispute with a supervisor, peer, or subordinate Speak to a powerful person Deal with success Guard against greed Survive middle management Be a better listener Have a better marriage In addition to an explanation of the maxims, An Ancient African Wisdombook also includes teaching suggestions, writing assignments, group lessons, and commentary to help teachers formulate lesson plans to teach ancient African wisdom. Ptahhoteps book helps to lay the foundation for black literature and culture throughout the world, and it lays the ethical foundation for a golden age of African achievement.

This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Tradition is built on the innate"What it is" of oneself and life living that "Underlie" "how things appear" and "what things do." "Underlying" contents consist of Nature's infinite Foundation of Unified Complexity and multiplicity Patterns. These rest on the Ultimate of all Cosmic Orders-- the Spiritual Elements of Unconditional Love, Truth, Reality and the Natural--all Orderly orchestrated by the boundless Force, which Ancient Africans called Sekhem. This book deals with the Instincts, Common Sense, Creativity, Reasoning, Knowledge, Logic and Wisdom faculties naturally developing from ones inborn Pure Emotions and Pure Intellect. Their presented patterns are from my interpretations of African Tradition methods. Yet, vital to Thought Harmony inside creative explorations of the infinite "Underlyings" is Critical Thinking --serving like a protective, defending and guiding "seeing eye dog." These processes express ones innate Selfhood Greatness--derived from possessing a Spark of God + the supreme Ancient African "Genetics" + a "Unique" Talent to be a bridge to ones Mission in life. Proper use of these thinking faculties, while staying within Nature's Processes, make one a "Non-Self" individual--meaning "because we are, therefore I am"--and thus oriented to producing "ME/WE" benefits.Also addressed are the Healing for and Protective Measures against the European mindsets and methods used to generate massive Maafas (immeasurable catastrophes) on Black People.

Book excerpt: A matrix is a foundation upon which something is created. It is also a framework or structure that a construction can be based upon. The matrix is a guide. The question is what are the ideas and principles that African culture and society has been based on from time immemorial? In terms of African society and civilization the matrix is proverbial wisdom teachings. African proverbial wisdom teachings are aphorisms that may be found from ancient to modern times that contain a uniquely African perspective on life, social organization and spiritual existence that has been refined and encapsulated over generations. African proverbial wisdom teachings contain the guiding principles that were used by ancient African societies and which can still be found in use throughout Africa for the transference of wisdom containing a code for the architecture of a well ordered society and also for personal material and spiritual fulfillment. This volume is dedicated to outlining those principles embedded in African Proverbial Wisdom teachings for those who want to recapture the innate African acumen for creating political and economic well-being and spiritual connection to the universe.

Book excerpt: Packed out with words of wisdom, wise sayings, old saying, sages philosophy and ancient culture, find in the cover that this collection of African proverbs is appropriately titled. The book and it's contents is different from the storm of proverbs in Orient wisdom works. The anthology array here is wide to accommodate saying for women and men, children and parents, bridal wedding palms, plant and animal, reality and abstract, essential and trivia and bride and groom. The pharaonic Africa's cradle of civilization and the continents clever myth and legend are highlighted with cultural colors. And the work flings aside the curtain of this oral traditional jewels, thus going as missionaries in the land of foreign cultures. As a reader, you will see more in the book, painted in vivid word picture, the African identity and history art that is often present in clothing, comforter, pillow, plaque, earrings, bracelets, necklace and gifts, along with funny quotes and rhythms. Proverbs and riddles are a major part of the African traditional life. They seek to bring out a range of thoughtful advice, understanding, truth, morals and warning in both serious and humorous fashion. They evoke meanings out of daily experiences, show community unity and link to biblical spirituality. The beauty of this collection is the generous latitude towards many possible meanings as no attempt is made to suggest one. Unless otherwise indicated, all the proverbs here are credited to the Ishans, a small minority tribe in Edo, Nigeria. Still, most are known in other tribes and their messages are true of people everywhere. This book will gain audience among families and readers who seek to find the wisdom of words. So discover why" The room of a small child is not enough for a masquerade to dress up." And why "A man needs to hold his organ in his hand in gesture when making advances to a woman who is deaf and dumb."
