Jamaican proverbs are sayings of wisdom which have transcended time. These sayings provide guidance on behavior and interactions, and find applicability to a whole range of life's encounters and experiences. They go back many centuries and are very much a part of Jamaican culture. The importance of these Proverbs, as a terms of reference for generations of Jamaicans, is second only to biblical scriptures. These Jamaican proverbs were conceived at a time when, as an island nation, the horizon was practically the end of the world. Contact with the outside world occurred when the occasional ship would visit. Most people never had contacts far beyond their village. A lot has changed since then and we now live in a world of instant messaging, a world where one can wake up and have breakfast in one place, have lunch in another and have dinner and go to bed in yet another place all thousands of miles apart. This books looks at how Jamaican proverbs impact present day existence by examining the meanings of the proverbs and expounding on their applicability to everyday life. It is evident that though a lot has changed the fundamentals of human interactions have not. We have grown more sophisticated, more worldly, and more exposed but, at the core, the proverbs are as relevant today as they were when they were coined centuries ago.
