“If you are unable to get turkey, then you must be satisfied with John Crow.”

That which appears too good, can hurt you.

What is yours will always be yours.

Do not underestimate the value of the elderly.

If you put your hand in the devil’s mouth, take it out carefully.

Every day the devil helps the theif; one day God will help the watchman.

If you do not smash an ant, it is impossible for you to find its guts.

Sheltered persons don’t know true hardship or troubles.

The person is too slight.

A stone at the bottom of the river never feels the heat of the sun,

What the goat does, the kid follows.

One hand washes the other.

Do not rush into a marriage, or any intimate relationship, but wait until the time is right.

When the poor man gets up, he becomes trouble to the world.

If you can’t get turkey, you must satisfy with John Crow.

A dog among doctors, a cockroach among shavers.

Sitting down too much wears out one’s trousers.
