Peruvian Spanish proverbs often reflect the country’s diverse cultures and landscapes. “A Dios rogando y con el mazo dando” (Praying to God while wielding the mallet) advises combining faith with action. “Más sabe el diablo por viejo que por diablo” (The devil knows more from being old than from being the devil) values experience. “El que no tiene de inga, tiene de mandinga” (He who doesn’t have indigenous blood has African blood) celebrates Peru’s mixed heritage.
