    (1) If you live in a glass house dont throw stones.
    (2) Vessels large but venture more, and small boats keep near shore.
    (3) Keep a dog and bark yourself,
    (4) You cannot knock the bird out of the bush she is not in.
    (5) You can't knock blood out of a turnip.
    (6) Friends will meet where we shall never.
    (7) Wilful waste brings woeful want.
    (8) He who wears the book knows where it pinches.
