Haitian

A new broom sweeps well.

Cheap is expensive.

Two people get soaked in the rain;
one is worse off.

The mat maker sleeps on the floor.

The weed you don't want in your garden
is the one that grows in your house.

Dust doesn't arise without wind.

A gathering storm doesn't necessarily mean rain.

A mess never has an owner.

A leaky roof fools the sun
but it doesn't fool the rain.

Mud clogs the flow.

It takes a lot of water to wash a mud hut.

It is Saturday that knows what Sunday will bring.

Not everyone goes to church to pray.

Every rope has two ends.

Fast is good; slow is good.

All friends have friends.

Woman has strength in the mouth.
Man has strength in the hand.

You can't draw blood from a stone.

If the boot is too tight for you, walk barefoot.

Where there's the fire, there's water also.

If you didn't put the kettle on the fire,
don't take it off.

A lie may run as it may,
but truth will catch it.

Life says "Let's go", 
but you don't know where it is taking you.

The devil never gives for nothing.

The greatest person is the one who respects himself.

The foolish person rides a horse backward.

The fool is an event.

It's the mouse that shows its hole.

Habit is a vice.

Pain takes advantage.

Taking a snake to school is easy.
The challenge lies in getting him to do what you want.

A parrot never forgets its first master.

The horse knows the length of his rope.

All cornered animals bite.

Teeth are bones.

Don't stick you foot in a raging river.

Don't touch a man who bathes in deep water.

The deepest eyes cry first.

The stone in the stream knows not the pain of the stone in the sun.
