He that feares leaves, let him not goe into the wood.

Who hath bitter in his mouth, spits not all sweet.

To seek these things is lost labour; Geese in an oyle pot, fat Hogs among Jews, and Wine in a fishing net.

You cannot flea a stone.

Hee wrongs not an old man that steales his supper from him.

Presse a stick, and it seemes a youth.

Forbeare not sowing because of birds.
