Jamaica proverbs with comentry
I love Jamaican proverbs.
They have seen me through good times and bad, and have helped me solve the most difficult problems. The wit and philosophy of Jamaican Proverbs can be astounding; they often leave you bent double with laughter or deep in contemplation at the philosophical implications. I hope you enjoy this little book as much as I do – keep it with you always.

Everal McKenzie


ALLIGATOR
No cuss alligator long mout till yuh cross river.

ANT
If yuh don't mash ant, yuh don't find im gut
[you don't know a man until you hurt his feelings].

BALLAST
A wise captain carries more ballast than sail.

BASKET
Cutacoo pon man back yearry
wha im massa no yearry.

Hang yuh basket whe yuh han can reach it
[don't over extend yourself].

BEAUTY
Beauty without grace is like a rose without scent.

BELLY
When belly full man bruk pot.

BIRD
A no de bud wha sing de bes
dat a mek de bes nest.


Bud sing sweet fe im own nest.

Young bud no know when berry ripe a mountain
[the young depend on their parents]
