The pitcher will go to the well once too often.
He who sups with the Devil should have a long spoon.
God never sends mouths but He sends meat.
Out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.
We must learn to walk before we can run.
When the wine is in, the wit is out.
When Adam delved and Even span, who was then the gentleman?
Everyone stretches his legs according to the length of his coverlet.
The sun loses nothing by shining into a puddle.
A fool may give a wise man counsel.
A reed before the wind lives on, while mighty oaks do fall.
The more you get the more you want.
The nearer the church, the farther from God.
The nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat.
In vain the net is spread in the sight of the bird.
