Unusual Proverbs in Puerto Rican Spanish

Puerto Rican Spanish has its share of colorful proverbs. “A lo hecho, pecho” (To what’s done, chest) means to face the consequences of one’s actions. “El cuidao’ no quita lo valiente” (Being careful doesn’t take away from being brave) advises caution even in bravery. “Barco que no anda, no llega a puerto” (A ship that doesn’t sail never reaches port) encourages taking action to achieve goals.
