Rodgers Dictionary of Proverbs
Youth never casts for peril.
Youth sheds many a skin. The steed does
not retain its speed forever.
Youth spent freely, old age spent in poverty.
Youth will be served.
Youth will have its course.
Youth will have its fling.
Youths are like waves of the sea, the elderly
have strength instead of tide.
Youths look at the future, the elderly at the
past, our ancestors live in the present.
Youths talk first and then listen, the elderly
listen and then talk.
You've got to do your own growing, no
matter how tall your grandfather was.
You've got to stare the cat down out of the
tree.
You've grazed so much, where's your tail-
fat?
You've made your bed, and now you'll have
to lie in it.
You've made your bed, so you can lie in it.
You've seen many Komo, but you haven't
seen the wild beast.
Yuh ain't even say: "yuh cat yuh dog".
Yuh does give yuh mout too much liberty.
Yuh kyaan prevent bird from fly over yuh
head, but yuh kyan prevent him from
making nest in yuh head.
