It is good to have two strings to one's bow.
To give an apple where there is an orchard.
A wight man ne'er wanted a weapon.
"We hounds slew the hare," quoth the messan [lapdog].
Is worth a plough of oxen and all belongs theretill.
He that owns the cow goes nearest her tail.
A cock is crouse on his ain midden.
The way to catch a bird is no to fling your bonnet at her.
I'll not change a cottage in possession for a kingdom in reversion.
Every man can tame a shrew but he that hath her.
Plain dealing is a jewel, but they that use it die beggars.
Speak truth and shame the devil.
Second thoughts are best.
Throw much dirt, and some will stick.
A bow o'erbent will weaken.
The receiver is as bad as the thief.
The more rogue the more luck.
You must spoil before you spin.
He that gets his gear before his wit will be short while master of it.
Delays are dangerous.
Common fame is seldom to blame.
Give a dog an ill name and hang him.
The nearer the church, the farther from God.
The kiln calls the oven burnt house.
