I have heard these before but not for a long long time. Looked on the web to jog my memory.
Cockroach nuh business inna fowl fight" [Don't get involved in this that don't concerns you]
"Chicken merry; hawk deh [is] near" [Be careful when things are going too good for you as its always possible that danger is around the corner]
"Hog say, 'de first dutty water mi ketch, mi wash'." [Make use of the first opportunities that comes your way]
"Wanti, wanti nuh 'avi 'avi an 'avi 'avi nuh wanti wanti". [Those that want don't have and those that have don't appreciate what they've got]
"Every mikkle mek a mukkle" [Every little bit counts]
"Duppy know who fi frighten" [Bullies (or ghost) pick on those who can defend themselves the least]
These are all great.
