Dictionary of Proverbs (page 5/6)

The more Haste the worse Speed; When the Sky falls we shall catch Larks.	’Tis too late to spare when all is spent; One Swallow does not make Summer.
When the Steed’s stolen, shut the Stable Door.	After sweet Meat comes sour Sauce; [woodcut of stout man, seated, with bandaged foot]
A Shoemaker must not go beyond his Last	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
One good Turn deserves another; He steals a Goose, and gives the Giblets in Alms.	An old Dog will learn no Tricks; If you trust before you try, You may repent before you die.
Nothing venture, nothing have; Virtue which parleys is near a Surrender.	Well begun is half ended; All is well that ends well.
Many Words will not fill a Bushel; The younger Brother the better Gentleman.	One scabbed Sheep marrs a whole Flock; Tread on a Worm and it will turn.
