Little Pitchers have great Ears; Many talk of Robin Hood who never shot in his Bow.

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

Brag is a good Dog, but Holdfast is a better; The Belly has no Ears; [woodcut: mouse by house perhaps made from candle with snuffer]

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]

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

Better play at small Game than stand out; Give him a Rowland for his Oliver.

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.

A Rolling Stone gathers no Moss; It is good to make Hay while the Sun shines.

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

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.

When the Steed’s stolen, shut the Stable Door.
