Guyanese Proverbs

Sometimes when you are enjoying yourself, unknown to you, trouble is brewing in the background.

Sometimes when you think you are safe, danger is lurking nearby.

Every little bit adds up.

You should not go against the decision or choice of a person you feel is qualified to make the right choice.

Everybody has to learn and find out what is good for himself or herself.

When there is trouble, enemies are sometimes forced to get together to solve problems.

Although you tend to be ignored for the wrong things you do, you still have your conscience to deal with.

If you put little effort in a task you can expect very little success.

You must attempt something only when all aspects seem clear.

When you make a decision you must be prepared to abide with the consequences.
