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

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

A Shoemaker must not go beyond his Last

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

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

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]

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.

As sure as God’s in Gloucestershire; Every Man thinks his own Geese Swans.

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

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

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

Fast bind, fast find; Like Father like Son.

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

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

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

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

Cheerful full-page vintage colour border
