Beauty is but dross if honesty be lost, [337]

Beauty without virtue is like a rose without scent, [367]

Bees do not become hornets, [33]

Before a man learns to hang he is half dead, [368]

Before the time great courage; when at the point, great fear, [200]

Before you make a friend, eat a peck of salt with him, [296]

Before you marry, beware, for it is a knot difficult to untie, [200]

Before you marry consider what you do, [292]

Before you marry, have a house to live in, fields to till, and vines to cut, [200]

Before you marry reflect, for it is a knot you cannot untie, [266]
