A good example is the best sermon.
A slip of the foot may soon be recovered, but that of the tongue may never.
As you make your bed, so you must lie.
Bear and forbear is good philosophy.
Beauty draws more than oxen.
By ignorance we mistake, and by mistakes we learn.
Call not the surgeon before you are wounded.
Care and diligence bring luck.
Diet cures more than the lancet.
Do all you can to be good and you'll be so.
Do as the friar saith, not as he doeth.
Do unto others as you would be done unto.
Empty vessels give the greatest sounds.
Experience is good if not bought too dear.
Falts are thick where love is thin.
Foxes, when they cannot reach the grapes, say they are not ripe.
Good health is above all wealth.
Good words cost nothing, but are worth much.
He's my friends that speaks well of me behind my back.
Health is not valued 'till sickness comes.
He that eats till he is sick, must fast until he is well.
He must stoop, that hath a low door.
Home is home, be it ever so homely.
If thou canst not see the bottom, wade not.
Judge not of men, or things at first sight.
Keep thy shop, and thy shop will keep thee.
Knowledge in youth, is wisdom in old age.
Little minds, like weak liquors, are soonest soured.
Many come to bring their clothes to Church, rather than themselves.
Many go out for wool and come home shorn.
Prevention is better than cure.
One of these days is none of these days.
Sickness is felt, but health not at all.
Silence seldom doth harm.
Tell me the company you keep, and I'll tell you what you are.
That fish is soon caught who nibbles at every bait.
The first step to virtue is to abstain from vice.
'Tis vain to learn wisddom, and yet live foolishly.
To err is human, to forgive divine.
Who looks not before, finds himself left behind.
Better to ride on an ass that carries me, than a horse that throws me.
Eat to live, but do not live to eat.
When fortune smiles, take the advantage.
He liveth long that liveth well.
He that will enter into Paradise must have a good key.
Poverty parteth friends.
A long tongue is a sign of a short hand.
A young man idle, an old man needy.
He that would live for aye, must eat Sage in May.
