Nothing venture, nothing have; Virtue which parleys is near a Surrender.

Fast bind, fast find; Like Father like Son.

I talk of Chalk and you of Cheese; Charity begins at Home; Cut your Coat according to your Cloth; What can’t be cur’d must be endur’d.

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

One scabbed Sheep marrs a whole Flock; Tread on a Worm and it will turn.

Give him a Rowland for his Oliver; Penny Wise, and Pound Foolish; He that Reckons without his Host must reckon again.

Sue a Beggar and catch a Louse; Many Hands make Light Work; [woodcut: well-dressed man scratches his head standing near a beggar with outstretched hat]

An old Dog will learn no Tricks; If you trust before you try, You may repent before you die.

’Tis too late to spare when all is spent; One Swallow does not make Summer.

A Fool’s Bolt is soon shot; Birds of a Feather flock together; Out of the Frying-Pan into the Fire.
