Do not lose honour through fear, [242]

Do not make two devils of one, [23]

Do not put in more warp than you can weave, [403]

Do not rear a bird of a bad breed, [274]

Do not rejoice at my grief, for when mine is old yours will be new, [237]

Do not ship all in one bottom, [158]

Do not spread your corn to dry at an enemy’s door (Asturian), [230]

Do not steal a loaf from him that kneads and bakes, [197]

Do not strip before bedtime, [24]

Do not stuff your servant with bread, and he won’t ask for cheese, [203]
