An old Dog will learn no Tricks; If you trust before you try, You may repent before you die.
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
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]
A Shoemaker must not go beyond his Last
After sweet Meat comes sour Sauce; [woodcut of stout man, seated, with bandaged foot]
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.

Many Words will not fill a Bushel;  The younger Brother the better Gentleman.
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.
He makes a Rod for his own Breech.
The more Haste the worse Speed;  When the Sky falls we shall catch Larks.
’Tis too late to spare when all is spent;  One Swallow does not make Summer.
It’s neither Rhime nor Reason; What is got over the Devil’s Back will be spent under his Belly.
A Rolling Stone gathers no Moss;  It is good to make Hay while the Sun shines.
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)
One Man had better steal a Horse than another look over the Hedge;  [woodcut: highayman with hat and cape leads a horse]
Proferred Service stinks;  The Receiver is as bad as the Thief;  Reckon not your Chickens before they are hatched.
When the Steed’s stolen, shut the Stable Door.
Near is my Shirt, but Nearer is my Skin.
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.
Need makes the old Wife trot;  [woodcut: barefoot old woman hitches up skirts to cross a stream]
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.
Hungry Dogs will eat dirty Pudding;  He that would live at Peace and Rest, Must hear and see, and say the Best.
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]
Fat Paunches make Lean Pates.
Give him a Rowland for his Oliver;  Penny Wise, and Pound Foolish;  He that Reckons without his Host must reckon again.
Save a Thief from Hanging, and he’ll cut your Throat; Jack will never make a Gentleman.
Fast bind, fast find;  Like Father like Son.
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.
Good Wine needs no Bush;  Kissing goes by Favour;  A Lark is better than a Kite
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 you brew so you shall bake; Every bean has its Black; it is an ill wind that blows no body good
A Fool’s Bolt is soon shot;  Birds of a Feather flock together;  Out of the Frying-Pan into 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]
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.
A Burnt Child dreads the Fire
As sure as God’s in Gloucestershire;  Every Man thinks his own Geese Swans.
