      From Nana Karenga’s book “Odu Ifa”

      My translation in Twi,

      An uncontrolled temper does not create anything for anyone
      Kokobɔne mmoa ɔbiara da.

      Patience is the father of character.
      Boasetɔ yɛ suban Agya.

      A person who is patient will become the master of all things.
      Nea ɔto ne bo ase bɛyɛ Ɔbenfoɔ.

      She will reach a ripe old age
      Ɔbɛnyin yiye

      He will live a healthy life
      Ɔbɛnya asetena pa ara

      And she will enjoy life thoroughly
      Ɛnna ɔbɛnya asetena mu anigyeɛ pa ara

      Like a person tasting honey
      Te sɛ obi a ɔredi ɛwoɔ
