"One head does not constitute a Council."

Simply put, "Two head are better than one."

"We are linked together like a chain; we are linked in life; we are linked in death; wo/men who share a common blood relation never break away from one another."

This stresses that every person contributes to the success/failure of their family/community.

"The left hand washes the right and the right hand washes the left."

The left hand cannot wash itself neither can the right hand wash itself, but when the hands wash each other, they become clean. Cooperation and mutual helpfulness are the sine qua non of individual welfare and moreover, they make possible the achievement of undertakings which might appear to be difficult, if not impossible.


"One hand cannot lift a (heavy) load."

A heavy responsibility must not be borne by one person. Collective action (cooperation) makes for light work.
