Don’t carry your head too high, the door is low, [159]

Don’t cross the water unless you see the bottom, [84]

Don’t cry fried fish before they are caught, [113]

Don’t cry herrings till they are in the net, [337]

Don’t cry holloa! till you’re out of the bush, [337]

Don’t cry hurra! till you’re over the bridge (or ditch, or hedge), [167], [168], [337]

Don’t divide the spoil before the victory is won, [160]

Don’t find fault with what you don’t understand, [40]

Don’t fly till your wings are feathered, [148]

Don’t go a-fishing to a famous stream, [68]
