    in the bush.
    You can’t put an old head on young shoulders.
    A nod from a lord is a breakfast for a fool.
    Keep thy shop and thy shop will keep thee.
    Far away cows have long horns.
    Think before you speak.
    Look before you leap.
    A shut mouth catches no flies.
    Honesty is the best of policy.
    Silks and satins often put out the kitchen fire.
    Two heads are better than one.
    Covetous people are ever in want.
    Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
    The breeding beats the feeding.
