Trinbagonian symbols
[change | change source]Everyone has his friend. Fair words can buy a horse on credit. New broom does sweep clean, but old broom knows all de corners. Not all useful knowledge comes from books or formal learning. Well to do people offer words of consolation only to the needy, but never any tangible assistance. Carry your own burdens. Chop in water leave no mark. People never recognise their own faults. Monkey knows what tree to climb. All skin teeth eh laugh. People with certain inabilities are not free to act. Bush has ears. The thing that makes you happy may also hurt you. Conversation is the food of the ears. The race is not for the swift, slow and steady wins. Blood is thicker than water.
