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

Save a Thief from Hanging, and he’ll cut your Throat; Jack will never make a Gentleman.

The more Haste the worse Speed; When the Sky falls we shall catch Larks.

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

Harm watch, Harm catch; It is a good Horse that never stumbles.

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

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

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

Fast bind, fast find; Like Father like Son.

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]

Give a Man Luck and throw him into the Sea; Money makes the Mare to go; Much falls between the Cup and the Lip.

Near is my Shirt, but Nearer is my Skin.

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

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

To buy a Pig in a poke; Robin Hood’s Pennyworths; He looks one way and rows another.

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

Cheerful full-page vintage colour border
