    your eye is bigger than your stomach.
    It is hard for an empty bag to stand upright.
    He that has a trade has an estate.
    Don't grasp at too much for fear of losing all.
    Be not the first by whom the new is tried nor yet the last to throw the old aside.
    An old saying and a wise saying not to show your teeth except you can bite.
    Keep your shop and your shop
