It is a great victory that comes without blood.
It is better to have wings then hornes.
It is good to hold the asse by the bridle.
It’s a bold mouse that nestles in the catts eare.
It’s a dangerous fire begins in the bed-straw.
It’s a poore stake that cannot stand one yeare in the ground.
It’s a proud horse that will not carry his owne provender.
It’s a wicked thing to make a dearth ones garner.
It’s absurd to warme one in his armour.
It’s an ill aire where wee gaine nothing.
It’s an ill councell that hath no escape.
It’s better to be head of a Lyzard, then the tayle of a Lyon.
It’s good walking with a horse in ones hand.
Little wealth, little care.
Long jesting was never good.
Losse embraceth shame.
Love and businesse teach eloquence.
Love makes a good eye squint.
