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

He sets the Fox to keep his Geese. [woodcut: fox watching geese]

A Burnt Child dreads the Fire

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

It’s neither Rhime nor Reason; What is got over the Devil’s Back will be spent under his Belly.

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.

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

Fat Paunches make Lean Pates.

Proferred Service stinks; The Receiver is as bad as the Thief; Reckon not your Chickens before they are hatched.

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.

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

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