Puerto Rican Proverbs

Puerto Rican proverbs, or “refranes,” offer insights into the island’s culture. “A lo hecho, pecho” (Face what’s done) encourages taking responsibility. “Cada guaraguao tiene su pitirre” (Every hawk has its flycatcher) suggests that everyone meets their match. “Del dicho al hecho hay un trecho” (From saying to doing there’s a long stretch) reminds that actions speak louder than words.
