West Indian Proverbs found in Domino
"Little ax cut down big tree"
             A  woman may be small but accomplish big things.

"Man Dead, Man Dey"
            Life will go on in spite of death and if a woman loses her man,
            there is always another to take his place.

Sometimes it feels like: "Ah Buddy, me a jig but no motion"
            Wok'n like hell but not gettin' anywhere.

"Proverbs - an ancient resource,  the original sound byte. These morsels of
wisdom
that make up the Oral Tradition which have successfully passed down
knowledge to future
generations worked great! before the complications of curriculum interfered
with people's ability
  to internalize snippets of useful and necessary info. "

"Now, they educate the knowlege right outta ya." KSE 1998

  "Be who you are and say what you feel because the people who mind
     don't matter and the people who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss

"The illiterate of the year 2000 will not be the individual who cannot read
and write, but the one who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn."  Alvin Toffler
