    Think twice before you speak once.
    Vessels large may venture more, but little boats should keep near shore.
    Fools make feasts + wise men eat them
    Pretty feathers make pretty birds
    Never spare for tomorrow what you can eat today
    Beg from a beggar and you'll never be rich
    Wilful waste makes woeful want.
    A high church and a low steeple a poor house and poor people
    Drive the nail while the iron is red.
    Whatever you do, do it with your might. For things done by half are never done right
