Imagine you woke up late for a job interview. What would you do? Would you scramble to get dressed and make it to the meeting as quickly as possible? Or would you think "Forget it, it's not worth going at all now"? Next time you think "It's too late" try telling yourself "Better late than never." For example, this Proverb of the Day was posted late, but at least you're reading it now - Thanks!
Haba na haba hujaza kibaba
Little by little fills up the jar
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
Thus the little minutes,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.
Nikisikia nitasahau, nikiona nitakumbuka, nikifanya nitaelewa.

One hand can't clap
Bila mtu wa pili ugomvi hauanzi

Kidole kimoja hakiuwi chawa
One finger doesn't kill a louse
