He that spares to speak, spares to speed. He that may not do as he would, mon do as he may. He is well easit that hes ought of his own, when others go to meat. He that does ill hates the light. He that speaks the things he should not, hears the things he would not. He that is evil deem'd is half hang'd. He that tholes, overcomes. He rises over early that is hangit ere noon. He that forsakes missour, missour forsake him. Half a tale is enough to a wise man. He that hews over hie, the spail will fall into his eye. He that eats while he lasts, will be the war while he die. He is a weak Horse that may not bear the Saddle. He that borrows and bigs; makes feasts and thigs; drinks and is not dry; these three are not thrifty. |
