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

A Shoemaker must not go beyond his Last

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

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

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]

Well begun is half ended; All is well that ends well.
