Jamaica proverb: Rockstone a riva battam noh kno' seh sun hot.

Possible meaning: Unless you have direct experience of a given situation (good or bad) you don't really know anything about it. In a more specific sense, it also says that those who have a life of comfort do not know the hardships of poverty.
