the ROTTEN apple injures its neighbours
he that TOUCHES pitch shall be defiledexception see under rules, general
excess
the LAST drop makes the cup run over
it is the LAST straw that breaks the camel’s back
you can have TOO much of a good thingexcuses
a BAD excuse is better than none
he who EXCUSES, accuses himself
FINGERS were made before forks
IGNORANCE of the law is no excuse..
it is easy to find a STICK to beat a dogexercise see under health
expectation see also disappointment; hope and despair
it is BETTER to travel hopefully..
don’t CRY before you’re hurt
while the GRASS grows, the steed starves
it’s ILL waiting for dead men’s shoesexpense see under getting and spending
experience
the man who has once been BITTEN by the snake..
a BURNT child dreads the fire
you cannot CATCH old birds with chaff
EXPERIENCE is the best teacher
EXPERIENCE is the father of wisdom
EXPERIENCE keeps a dear school
the same FIRE that melts the butter hardens the egg
the FROG in the well knows nothing of the sea
LIVE and learn
they that LIVE longest, see most
ONCE bitten, twice shy
