He who begins badly, ends badly, [250]
He who begins ill finishes worse, [82]
He who begins many things finishes few, [82]
He who begins much finishes little, [186]
He who bestirs himself sucks up, he who lies still dries up, [54]
He who blows in the fire will get sparks in his eyes, [182]
He who blows upon dust fills his eyes with it, [86]
He who brings bad tidings comes soon enough, [185]
He who brings is welcome, [179]
