Thought for the day...

Never light your candle at both ends.



Don’t pick women or horses by candle-light.



The candle does not give light to itself.



Be not ashamed to say what you are not ashamed to think.



Call a spade a spade.

 

Speak boldly and speak truly; shame the devil.



If the cap fits, wear it.



Curiosity killed the cat.



Want of care does more harm than want of knowledge.



Many cares make the head white.

 

If you can’t be good, be careful.



Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.



A careless watch invites the vigilant foe.



Careless men come to a sudden and sorry end.



Another’s cares will not rob you of sleep.

 

Don’t put the cart before the horse.



To make the cart go, keep the wheels greased.



A case well stated is half tried.



Cash begets cash as credit begets creditors.



In God we trust; all others must pay cash.

 

A man’s house is his castle.



Build your castles in the air; then put a good foundation under them.



While the cat is away the mice will play.



There are many ways to skin a cat.



A good cause finds weapons to defend it.

 

Lock the stable door before the horse is stolen.



Look before you leap.



Don’t wade if your feet can’t feel the river’s bottom.



Better safe than sorry.



Never wade in unknown waters.

 

To see how deep the water is, never test with both feet.



Walls have ears.



Never count your chickens before they hatch.



Leave well enough alone.


Never play with a mad dog.
