Proverb: person wey dey sell pepper no dey take hand scratch yansh

Meaning: in life one has to be extremely careful,always be careful!
Quintom, if you give your proverb then try and reason the meaning well and the right meaning. African proverbs are not like ordinary statement with denotative meanings. Though some of them might be mere but are deeply connotated.

Person wey dey sell pepper no dey scratch yansh means "He that goes to equity should go with clean hands" and not to be careful and extremely careful.

Proverb: Person wey dey carry knife kill person, no dey allow person carry knife pass him back.
Meaning:Even the killers are scared of death, protect yourself, don't allow anyone kill you.
I'm sorry to say, the meaning you gave does not represent the proverb you dropped.
The proverb is saying that he who does evil thinks that everyone else around him is evil. For instance, a scammer will hardly trust anyone, even his closest friend with his money, because he will reason that he would be scammed because it's what he does.
