Hi, everybody. Today we bring you a collection of Inca Proverbs .

In this compilation, we will try to highlight all the qualities and virtues of the Inca society as well as those Inca proverbs that have had more repercussion throughout time, since it has been many years since there is no such civilization. Unfortunately, the arrival of Columbus in America radically changed the way of life of the members of the Inca community.

That civilization was located in Peru, so we will find that most of the proverbs are written in Quechua language.

We hope you like them and that you draw valuable conclusions about how the Incas lived and thought.

Inca proverbs and their meaning

Without further ado, let us know a few proverbs and reflections that have transcended the centuries.

“The hatum ama sua, ama llula, ama quella”

The translation of this Inca maxim would be: “The important thing: don’t steal, don’t lie, don’t be idle”. A kind of basic moral guidance.

“To the corner panty remover”

A phrase used to punish someone.

“Good is coriander but not so good”

When we take a situation to the extreme, even if it is out of good faith, we can get hurt or harm someone.

“You think you’re the last sucker for the mango”

It is used to designate that a person is conceited and arrogant.

“He who grasps much, grasps little”

If you are not able to focus on few things and do them well, it is because you are perhaps trying to cover too many tasks. Efficiency requires focus and precision.

“What the ugly one has, the beautiful one desires”

The meaning is obvious. Human beings always aspire to have what we don’t have, and we don’t give value to who we are or what virtues we actually have today.

We hope you liked these Inca proverbs and that you have a good day . They are very interesting proverbs and at the same time very enriching for life. Share them on your social networks if you found them inspiring.
