’Tis too late to spare when all is spent; One Swallow does not make Summer.
Better play at small Game than stand out; Give him a Rowland for his Oliver.
The Traceys have always the Wind in their Faces; To cut large Thongs out of another Man’s Leather; Too much of one Thing is good for nothing
To buy a Pig in a poke; Robin Hood’s Pennyworths; He looks one way and rows another.
