Samoan Proverbs
“O le uta a le poto e fetala’i” The wise man thinks before he speaks. “E ala i aso” Some days one is lucky. “O lota lima e pa’ia ai lota mata” My eye was hurt by my own hand. He who inadvertently hurts his eye with his hand, resembles a person who gets into difficulties through his own fault .
