What is bred in the Bone will never be out of the Flesh; One Bird in the Hand is worth two in the Bush; A Cat may look upon a king.

All goes down Gutter-lane; As Wise as a Man of Gotham; As good as George of Green; [woodcut: stout man drinks from mug, holds saussage with a fork]

He makes a Rod for his own Breech.

Proferred Service stinks; The Receiver is as bad as the Thief; Reckon not your Chickens before they are hatched.
