Stay a while, and lose a mile.
Stroke your dog, and he'll spoil your clothes.
Sweep in front of your own door before you look after your neighbor's.
Take counsel before it goes ill, lest it go worse.
Take nothing in hand that may bring repentance.
Talk of the devil and you hear his bones rattle.
Teachers die, but books live on.
Tell me the company you keep, and I'll tell you what you are.
Tender surgeons make foul wounds.
That is good wisdom which is wisdom in the end.
The best cause requires a good champion.
The best goods are the cheapest.
The best pilots are ashore.
The cost is high of the honey that must be licked from thorns.
The cow does not know the value of her tail till she has lost it.
The devil has his martyrs among men.
The end of mirth is the beginning of sorrow.
The eye of the master makes the horse fat, and the eye of the mistress makes the chambers neat.
The eyes are bigger than the belly.
The farther from Rome the nearer to God.
The fly flutters around the candle till it gets burnt.
