Speake fitly, or be silent wisely.
The tree that God plants, no winde hurts it.
Hee that hath patience hath fatt thrushes for a farthing.
Speake not of a dead man at the table.
Good newes may bee told at any time, but ill in the morning.
Be not too presumptuously sure in any business; for things of this world depend on such a train of unseen chances that if it were in man's hands to set the tables, still he would not be certain to win the game.
