6 Quotes by Liberian authors

Liberian Flag

Liberian sayings carry the sea’s salt and the forest’s hush, moving with humor, grit, and neighborly duty. Proverbs prize patience, doing things small-small, yet insist on bravery when storms come. Market banter and elders’ tales shape a moral compass: share rice, mend quarrels under the palava hut, keep dignity even when pockets are light. The language bends English into music, playful but pointed, turning hardship into wit and memory into counsel, always leaning toward reconciliation, enterprise, and a future that must be built together.
