Panamanian Spanish features proverbs that often relate to the country’s unique position and culture. “Cada uno sabe dónde le aprieta el zapato” (Everyone knows where their shoe pinches) acknowledges personal struggles. “No hay mal que dure cien años, ni cuerpo que lo resista” (There’s no evil that lasts a hundred years, nor body that can endure it) offers hope in difficult times. “El que a buen árbol se arrima, buena sombra le cobija” (He who leans on a good tree is sheltered by good shade) advises associating with good people.
