Sangheili sayings

Much like humans, the Sangheili had many sayings and proverbs that encapsulated their cultural wisdom.

Sayings

• "To spill blood outside of battle is a great dishonor."
• "The velithra can only walk the path one at a time."

"Those who always look to the sky never see what is right before them." -- Saying of the Sumai clan

Ceremonial curveblade inscriptions

Many ancient ceremonial curveblades were inscribed with Sangheili proverbs on the hilt. Some examples of such proverbs include:

• "Words are most powerful before blades are drawn."
• "The sun warms those who stand before those who kneel in their shadows."
• "Strength comes from recognizing another's weakness."
• "When night falls, even the greatest colo herder, will still smell like a colo"
• "Do not ignore the words of those who saw the sun before you."
• "No blade is sharp enough to cut an unknown enemy."
