Agree, for the law is costly.

He that mischief hatcheth, mischief catcheth.

The early bird catches the worm.

Better a bad excuse, than none at all.

A zealous locksmith died of late,And did arrive at heaven gate,He stood without and would not knock,Because he meant to pick the lock.

Betwixt the stirrup and the ground / Mercy I asked, mercy I found.

God sendeth cold after clothes.
