George Herbert

Many kisse the hand they wish cut off.

A foole knowes more in his house then a wise man in another's.

Marry a widdow before she leave mourning.

The wise hand doth not all that the foolish mouth speakes.

An ill wound is cured, not an ill name.

235. One hand washeth another, and both the face.

One graine fills not a sacke, but helpes his fellowes.

215. Into a mouth shut flies flie not.

Send a wise man on an errand, and say nothing unto him.

The honey is sweet, but the bee stings.

The hole calls the thiefe.

Hee that lookes not before finds himself behind.

If the old dog barke he gives counsell.

Whose house is of glasse must not throw stones at another.

Where the drink goes in there the wit goes out.

One stroke fells not an oke.

Hell is full of good meanings and wishings.

God heales, and the physitian hath the thankes.

Of all smells, bread ; of all tasts, salt.

The eye and religion can beare no jesting.

Good words are worth much, and cost little.

The mill cannot grind with water that's past.

Marry your sonne when you will, your daughter when you can.

Love your neighbor, yet pull not downe your hedge.
