Mandeha Irery, Sahalain'andriamanitra; Mandeha Roa, Sahalain'olombelona.

This proverb teaches us that when we act alone, we are solely accountable before God, as He knows our true intentions. However, when we act in a group, the other members will also judge our actions. Therefore, our behavior within a group should consider how others perceive and judge us. An English equivalent would be ‘God alone sees the devotion of the solitary, but in a group, it is everyone else who judges’.
