An old Dog will learn no Tricks; If you trust before you try, You may repent before you die.
One scabbed Sheep marrs a whole Flock;  Tread on a Worm and it will turn.
Well begun is half ended;  All is well that ends well.
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
After sweet Meat comes sour Sauce; [woodcut of stout man, seated, with bandaged foot]
One good Turn deserves another;  He steals a Goose, and gives the Giblets in Alms.
Nothing venture, nothing have; Virtue which parleys is near a Surrender.
Many Words will not fill a Bushel;  The younger Brother the better Gentleman.

A Shoemaker must not go beyond his Last
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]
Proferred Service stinks;  The Receiver is as bad as the Thief;  Reckon not your Chickens before they are hatched.
To buy a Pig in a poke;  Robin Hood’s Pennyworths;  He looks one way and rows another.
A scan of blank paper for use in backgrounds (public domain)
It’s neither Rhime nor Reason; What is got over the Devil’s Back will be spent under his Belly.
Near is my Shirt, but Nearer is my Skin.
When the Steed’s stolen, shut the Stable Door.
The more Haste the worse Speed;  When the Sky falls we shall catch Larks.
One Man had better steal a Horse than another look over the Hedge;  [woodcut: highayman with hat and cape leads a horse]
A Rolling Stone gathers no Moss;  It is good to make Hay while the Sun shines.
’Tis too late to spare when all is spent;  One Swallow does not make Summer.
He makes a Rod for his own Breech.
Fat Paunches make Lean Pates.
Better play at small Game than stand out;  Give him a Rowland for his Oliver.
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]
Harm watch, Harm catch; It is a good Horse that never stumbles.
Little Pitchers have great Ears;  Many talk of Robin Hood who never shot in his Bow.
Give him a Rowland for his Oliver;  Penny Wise, and Pound Foolish;  He that Reckons without his Host must reckon again.
Hungry Dogs will eat dirty Pudding;  He that would live at Peace and Rest, Must hear and see, and say the Best.
Need makes the old Wife trot;  [woodcut: barefoot old woman hitches up skirts to cross a stream]
Give a Man Luck and throw him into the Sea;  Money makes the Mare to go;  Much falls between the Cup and the Lip.
A Burnt Child dreads the Fire
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]
As sure as God’s in Gloucestershire;  Every Man thinks his own Geese Swans.
A Fool’s Bolt is soon shot;  Birds of a Feather flock together;  Out of the Frying-Pan into the Fire.
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.
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.
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.
He sets the Fox to keep his Geese.  [woodcut: fox watching geese]
