From: Luo, East Africa
Source: Luo oral-tradition proverb, documented by Rev. Joseph Healey's African Proverbs project (afriprov.tangaza.ac.ke, "Weekly African Proverb," 2000-12-21) as a Luo equivalent of the widely circulated "go fast alone, go far together" saying. That wider saying's own origin is disputed — Mieder and Doyle trace one version to Rudyard Kipling (1889) and its modern reversed form to a 2004 book; see Whitby, "Who first said: if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together?" (andrewwhitby.com, 2020-12-25), which calls the question still open.
