It is folly to sing twice to a deaf man.
It is ill fishing before the net.
It is ill prizing of green barley.
It takes all sorts to make a world.
Keep counsel of thyself first.
Learning makes a man fit company for himself as well as for others.
Leave a great talker in the middle of the street.
Let every man praise the bridge he goes over.
Love your neighbor, yet pull not down your hedge.
Love your neighbour, yet pull not down your hedge.
Make not the sauce till you have caught the fish.
Make not your sail too big for your ballast.
Make yourself all honey and the flies will devour you.
Many a true word is spoken in jest.
Much ado and little help.
Never fall out with your bread and butter.
Never step over one duty to perform another.
No barber shaves so close but another finds his work.
None can guess the jewel by the casket.
Of wine the middle, of oil the top, and of honey the bottom is best.
Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.
