"Those whose palm-kernels were cracked for them by a benevolent spirit should not forget to be
humble."
I Believe this statement was in regards to Okonkwo's arrogance. He was required to at least show some humility at the elders meeting because everything he had or possesed was not solely by his own doing .At least he had the help of his wives and children making him as prosperous as he was.
The white man...came quietly and peaceably with his religion.We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay.Now he has won our brothers,and our clan can no longer act as like one.He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.
