Chinua Achebe’s quotes and proverbs!!!...

-

 'Once there was a great wrestler whose back had never known the ground. He wrestled from village to village until he had thrown everybody in the world. Then he decided he must go and wrestle in the land of the spirits, and become champion there as well'.


'He went, and beat every spirit that came forward. Some had seven heads, some ten; but he beat them all. His companion who sang his praise on the flute begged him to come away, but he would not, his blood was roused, his ear nailed up. Rather than heed the call to go home, he gave a challenge to the spirits to bring out their best and strongest wrestler. So they sent him his personal god (chi), a little wiry spirit who seized him with one hand and smashed him on the Stony earth'


Chinua Achebe ~~~ Arrow Of God (African Trilogy)

LESSON: People should learn to do things in moderation. We should never allow pride to get better of us, learn to know when to pull back. No one wrestles with his personal god and triumphs. Your personal god is like your maker, your providence, your guiding spirit, your provider. No matter how strong you are, you cannot defeat your personal god.
