If you have to kill a snake, kill it once and for all.

Let a horse drink when he will, not what he will.

Leave well enough alone.

Mind your p’s and q’s.

Step on a crack; break your mother’s back.

A stitch in time, saves nine.

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

A chameleon does not leave one tree until he is sure of another.

Kill not the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Beware of a silent dog and still water.
