There needs a long time to know the worlds pulse.
Pursue not a victory too far. He hath conquered well that hath made his enemy fly; thou mayest beat him to a desperate resistance, which may ruin thee.
Who shuts his hand has lost his gold, Who opens it hath it twice told.
Though the Fox run, the chicken hath wings.
Neither eyes on letters, nor hands in coffers.
The tongue talkes at the heads cost.
