A bow long bent, at last waxeth weake.

Too much of one thing is good for nothing.

Rub and a good cast.

A meane is best.

Little fuell little flame.

Measure is a merry meane —

Enough is as good as a feast.

Content is a kingdome.

Too must honesty did never man harme.

A great shoe will not fit a little man.

Extremitie of right is wrong.

There's a difference be∣tween staring & starke blind.
