Spare to speake and spare to speed —
Will you lose your own for for lack of asking.
Faint heart never won faire lady.
Speak and speed. Ask and have.
Dumb folkes get no lands.
Have at all.
Short shooting loseth the game.
Either win the horse or lose the sadle.
Nothing venture nothing have.
Ile make you either a man or a mouse.
I'le either make or marre you.
A man or a mouse, a king or a begger.
Venture a small fish to catch a great one.
He that's afrayd of every grass, must not piss in a medow.
He'st ne'r have thing good cheape that's afraid to ask the price.
A man may hold his peace in an ill time.
High flying hawkes are fit for princes.
A hook well lost to catch a Salmon.
Who so bold as blind bayard.
He that can't ask can't live.
They that have nothing need feare to lose no∣thing.
