The most cautious passes for the most chaste, [227]

The most covered fire is always the most glowing, [32]

The most cunning are the first caught, [36]

The most difficult mountain to cross is the threshold, [362] (See The hardest step)

The most disorderly students make the most pious preachers, [140]

The most friendly fortune trips up your heels, [29]

The most learned are not the wisest, [305]

The most prudent yields to the strongest, [70]

The moth does most mischief to the finest garment, [111]
