Stupidity won't kill you, but it can make you sweat.
Sweep in front of your own door.
Take heed of enemies reconciled, and of meat twice boiled.
Take heed you do not find what you do not seek.
The afterthought is good for nought, except it be to catch blind horses with.
The bait hides the hook.
The best throw of the dice is to throw them away.
The cat has nine lives: three for playing, three for straying, three for staying.
The cat in gloves catches no mice.
The crow went traveling abroad and came back just as black.
The difference is wide that sheets will not decide.
The difference is wide that the sheets will not decide.
The face is no index to the heart.
The first faults are theirs that commit them, the second theirs that permit them.
The golden age never was the present age.
The greater the sinner, the greater the saint.
The heaviest baggage for a traveler is an empty wallet.
The mob has many heads but no brains.
The more acquaintance, the more danger.
The noisiest drum has nothing in it but air.
The ship that will not obey the helm will have to obey the rocks.
