A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin.
I escaped the Thunder, and fell into the Lightning.
Thou hast death in thy house, and dost bewaile anothers.
A rugged stone growes smooth from hand to hand.
A man well mounted is ever Cholerick.
When you are an Anvill, hold you still; when you are a hammer, strike your fill.
