It's better to be head of a Lyzard, then the tayle of a Lyon.
In a Leopard the spotts are not observed.
Hee that hath patience hath fatt thrushes for a farthing.
He that lies with the dogs, riseth with fleas.
Short boughs, long vintage.
That which will not be spun, let it not come betweene the spindle and the distaffe.
