- Don't speak of the faults of others until you have none of your own.
Never throw stones when you are in a glass house.
Experience teaches, but it is often too dear at school.
Improve yourself today, and improve your friends tomorrow.
A stitch in time saves nine,
Don't shout until you are out of the wood.
Sorrow too late is bad repentance,
Don't lock the stable when the horse is stolen.
Self praise is no recommendation.
There is often a good head under a bad hat,
