Warning
One wrong step may bring a great fall.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
Look before you leap.
Have not thy cloak to make when it begins to rain.
It is too late to spare when the bottom is bare.
Put your finger into the fire, and they say it was your misfortune.
Little chips light great fires.
Nip in the bud. /Crush in the egg.
There is no smoke without fire. /Everything must have a beginning.
The way to be safe is never to feel secure.
The fire which lights us at a distance will burn us when near.
More haste, less speed. /The shortest way round is the longest way home.
Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched.
He who laughs on Friday will weep on Sunday.
Too much good fortune is bad fortune.
