ንጉስ ሲሞት ግንቡን ብልህ ሲሞት ልቡን
✦
“When a king dies, his wall (is remembered); when a wise man dies, his heart (is remembered).”
Meaning
This proverb contrasts the legacy of a king with that of a wise person. A king's legacy is often associated with material achievements and power (like a wall), while a wise person's legacy resides in their wisdom, character, and intellectual contributions. It emphasizes that moral and intellectual legacies have a deeper, more lasting value than physical or material ones.
