- If you go to the Court leave your soul at home.
Nobody is wise until something goes against him.
One advice bought is worth two advices gratis.
Bend with the tree that will bend with you.
Don't say grace for your meals till you have got it.
If the messenger is cold the answer is cold.
The day always finds fault with the work of the night
Keep the bone and the dog will follow you.
There is no overtaking the shot once fired.
Often does not receive honour.
Don't show your teeth till you can bite.(continues on next page)
