Fearful commenting

Is leaden servitor to dull delay.

Fair fruit in an unwholesome dish

Are like to rot untasted.

Few words to fair faith.

Faults that are rich are fair.

Fools are not mad folks.

Famine,

Ere clean it o'erthrow nature, makes it valiant.

Fortune brings in some boats that are not steer'd.

Few love to hear the sins they love to act.

Flattery is the bellows blows up sin;

The thing the which is flatter'd, but a spark, To which that blast gives heat and stronger glowing.

Fathers that wear rags

Do make their children blind;
But fathers that bear bags

Shall see their children kind.

Full oft 'tis seen,

Our mean secures us; and our mere defects
Prove our commodities.

Foul deeds will rise,

Though all the earth o'erwhelm them, to men's

eyes.

Fruits that blossom first will first be ripe.

Full oft we see

Cold wisdom waiting on superfluous folly.

Great men may jest with saints: 'tis wit in them, But in the less, foul profanation.

Good alone

Is good, without a name; vileness is so :
The property by what it is should go,
Not by the title.

Grief boundeth where it falls,

Not with the empty hollowness, but weight.

Grief makes one hour ten.

Gnarling sorrow hath less power to bite
The man that mocks at it, and sets it light.

Glory is like a circle in the water,

Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself,

Till, by broad spreading, it disperse to naught.

Great men have reaching hands.

Give to a gracious message

A host of tongues; but let ill tidings tell
Themselves, when they be felt.

Greatness, once fallen out with fortune, Must fall out with men too.

Good words are better than bad strokes.

Great griefs medicine the less.

Golden lads and girls all must,

As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

Good wine is a good familiar creature, if it be

well used.

Good name, in man and woman,

Is the immediate jewel of their souls.

Good things should be praised.
