    Fools build walls and wise people build bridges.

    Moin Moin!


    Is this really an English proverb?


    I only find a similar as

    “In times of crisis, the wise build bridges, while the foolish build walls.” Marvel’s Black Panther

    No, I'd imagine they made it up.

    Google Books doesn't get me any hits for anything similar until 2018.
