I googled it and it seems to be an African proverb. But like many words of wisdom, it is probably in Torah. Does anyone know the Torah source for the equivalent of this?
I need it for a thank you letter I want to write for the team of amazing therapists that work with my son.

The only vaguely related expression I can think of off the top of my head is :kol yisrael arevim zeh bazeh.
There is wisdom among umot haolam and we are allowed, indeed encouraged, to use it. (The tricky part is knowing what is wisdom and what is shtus or worse.) No reason not to use the quote, which entered the English language even before Hillary Clinton made it a cliche.

I was thinking the opposite, actually... The statement that a child's language comes either from the mother or from the father?...
To me that implies that chazal thought the parents are the ones with the primary influence on a child.
But there could be a different point written elsewhere. Wish I could help! Good luck.

Torah has no monopoly on words of wisdom. Just saying.
