        If you ignore simple mistakes, they will soon yield to very costly ones!

        I agree @SaiMamaKay I think it's referring to relationships....if we don't deal with the cracks/issues in their infancy, before we know it, walls are built and it's too late to engage.

        Fix a little problem b4 it gets out of hand. Sit down and talk before it destroys your relationship . Call for dialogue before it escalates to bloodshed.

        If you keep ignoring a minor issue in your life, a bad behavior for example, it will build up into a big issue, a worst behavior.

        Its self explanatory on many levels. Just make sure you master the art of maintenance to avoid crises

        It referring to us working on our relationships with each other in the sense of not allowing small hurts or mistakes or offends of others destroy the beautiful relationship we have with them. if not so , loggerheads will get a breeding grounds and relationship will be destroyed.

        If you were to talk about a uk proverb, you would have used a very beautiful picture of the Queen. It's Africa so you just use a farmer under a tree. So that people who have not visited Africa b4 will think that we live in thick forest.
