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]

After sweet Meat comes sour Sauce; [woodcut of stout man, seated, with bandaged foot]

Many Words will not fill a Bushel; The younger Brother the better Gentleman.

One good Turn deserves another; He steals a Goose, and gives the Giblets in Alms.

A Burnt Child dreads the Fire

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

A scan of blank paper for use in backgrounds (public domain)

Curs’d Cows have short Horns; Much falls between the Cup and the Lip. No longer pipe no longer dance.

As sure as God’s in Gloucestershire; Every Man thinks his own Geese Swans.

He who has a mind to beat a Dog will easily find a Stick; Naught is never in Danger; Faint Heart never won fair Lady.

He makes a Rod for his own Breech.

Fat Paunches make Lean Pates.

A Shoemaker must not go beyond his Last

Hungry Dogs will eat dirty Pudding; He that would live at Peace and Rest, Must hear and see, and say the Best.

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

Good Wine needs no Bush; Kissing goes by Favour; A Lark is better than a Kite

As you brew so you shall bake; Every bean has its Black; it is an ill wind that blows no body good

Cheerful full-page vintage colour border
