When the cup is full, carry it even.

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.

Dig your well before you’re thirsty.

Look before you leap, for snakes among sweet flowers do creep.

There’s many a slip ‘twixt the cup and the lip.
