Of a good beginning cometh a good end.

All beginning is difficult. The first million is the hardest.

Think of the going out before you enter.

The beginning is half of every action.

You must empty a box before you fill it again.

He who begins many things finishes but few.

He! He! He! You begin with the meal before the water is boiling!

Get your feet wet.

When the sun shines, make hay.

He who begins many things finishes nothing.
