He that contemplates hath a day without night.
Hee that burnes his house warmes himselfe for once.
An old dog barks not in vain.
Give a clown your finger, and he will take your hand.
It's a dangerous fire begins in the bed-straw.
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.
