Auxilium & citra auxilium.
I may see him need, but I'le not see him bleed.
You need no spokesman.
You want no helpe.
Hang him that hath no sh••fts.
Good to have two stringes to one bow.
He hath the Sun on's face, and 'th' wind on's back.
Sorrow never helped man.
Weake men had need be witty.
'Tis good goeing a foote when a man hath a horse in his hand.

You are able to shift for your selfe.
Many hands make light worke.
Amend betimes.
We must live by the quick, not by the dead.
He must needs swim, that is held up by the chinne.
Helpe a lame dog over a stile.
Good riding at two ankers men have told, for if the one faile the other may hold.
