Caution

Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice

If wou want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they’ll kill you

Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference

Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

The reputation of a thousand years may be determined by the conduct of one hour

Don't think there are no crocodiles because the waters are calm

Barking dogs seldom bite

Better safe than sorry

Beware of the doctor, whose wife sells cemetery plots, whose brother owns a granite quarry, and whose father deals in shovels

Don’t count the chickens before they are hatched

Take away leisure and Cupid's bow is broken

I have spread my dreams beneath your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams

The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom

In fair weather prepare for foul

It is not fit that every man should travel; it makes a wise man better, and a fool worse

He who knows how to flatter also knows how to slander

The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions

If you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius

The more perfect a thing is, the more susceptible to good and bad treatment it is
