Burn not thy fingers to snuff another man's candle.
One hair of a woman can draw more than a hundred pair of oxen.
Man's best candle is his understanding.
The fangs of a bear, and the tusks of a wild boar, do not bite worse and make deeper gashes than a goose-quill sometimes; no, not even the badger himself, who is said to be so tenacious of his bite that he will not give over his hold till he feels his teeth meet and the bones crack.
The creditor hath a better memory than the debtor.
Choose thy friends like thy books, few but choice.
