A proverb warning that children who refuse parental discipline will suffer harsh life lessons later.
He who is not taught by his mother will be taught by the world
Asiyefunzwa na mamaye hufunzwa na ulimwengu
"Mlemtoto katika njia inayofaa; asiyefunzwa na mamaye hufunzwa na ulimwengu."
Translation: Raise a child in the proper way; he who ignores maternal teaching will be disciplined by the world.
