Many a little makes a mickle.
Fools make feasts, and wise men eat them.
Wise men learn by others’ harms, fools scarcely by their own.
When the well is dry they know the worth of water.
Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy.
A little neglect may breed great mischief.
Vessels large may venture more,
But little boats should keep near shore.
What is a butterfly? at best
He’s but a caterpillar drest;
