Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice Hath often stilled my brawling discontent.

Mark it, nuncle.
Have more than thou showest,
Speak less than thou knowest,
Lend less than thou owest,
Ride more than thou goest,
Learn more than thou trowest,
Set less than thou throwest,
Leave thy drink and thy whore
And keep in-a-door,
And thou shalt have more
Than two tens to a score.

Bosom upon my counsel; You'll find it wholesome.

When a wise man gives thee better counsel, give me mine again.

Go wisely and slowly. Those who rush stumble and fall.

Tis best to weigh the enemy more mighty than he seems.
