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.

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

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

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

A Burnt Child dreads the Fire

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

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

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

’Tis too late to spare when all is spent; One Swallow does not make Summer.

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

A Fool’s Bolt is soon shot; Birds of a Feather flock together; Out of the Frying-Pan into the Fire.

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

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

One Man had better steal a Horse than another look over the Hedge; [woodcut: highayman with hat and cape leads a horse]

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.
