Proverbs about Heads
"Twi orthography: Ti korɔ nkɔ agyina" - "One head (person) does not hold council."
One person discussing an issue with himself cannot be said to have held a meeting. We need a group of people to hold a meeting. This proverb is similar to the English one that says “two heads are better than one.”

"Ayonkogoro nti na okoto annya tiri" - "It is because of friend-play that the crab does not have a head."
This proverb is sometimes rendered as “Ayonko dodoo nti na okoto annya tiri,” meaning it is because of many friends that the crab did not get (or does not have) a head. This proverb speaks to the disadvantages of having many friends. The belief is that a multitude of friends could lead you astray or distract you from worthy pursuits.

"Every head must do its own thinking."
"When a new saying gets to the land of empty men, they lose their heads over it."
"Ears that do not listen to advice, accompany the head when it is chopped off."
"A fool may chance to put something into a wise man's head."
"A raindrop does not spare the head of the notable."
"Do not laugh at the fallen; you may find slippery roads ahead."
"What is in the stomach carries what is in the head."
"A drunkard is like a whisky bottle, only neck and belly but no head."
"A foolish head weakens the feet."
"A person who is carrying an elephant on his head should not use his feet to tap snails on the ground."
"A sleeping head needs more than its neck to support it."
"A wind can move the branches of trees, but it will never move the head of a man."
"Be careful of the words you say each day, make sure each is nice and sweet, because maybe in the days ahead, there will be some you'll have to eat."
"If you keep your head and heart going in the right direction, you don't have to worry about your feet."
