When a knave is in a plumtree he hath neither friend nor kin.
To the counsel of fools a wooden bell.
Hee that comes of a hen must scrape.
If I have enough for myself and family, I am steward only for myself; if I have more, I am but a steward of that abundance for others.
A gentle heart is tied with an easy thread.
He that marries late, marries ill.
