    (continued from previous page)
    velvets put out the kitchen fire.
    It is too late to shut the stable door when the steed is lost.
    Many estates are spent in the getting. While women for tea forsook sewing and knitting and men for punch hewing and splitting.
    Look before you leap.
    Children and fools shouldn't handle edged tools.
    Let the young people mind what the old people say and when danger comes they'll keep out of the way.
