123. Don't think to hunt two hares with one dog.

124. Don't throw stones at your neighbors, if your own windows are glass.

125. Don't value a man for the quality he is of, but for the qualities he possesses.

126. Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time; for that's the stuff life is made of.

127. Drink does not drown care, but waters it, and makes it grow faster.

128.* Drink water; put the money in your pocket, and leave the dry-bellyache in the punch-bowl.

129. Drive thy business, or it will drive thee.

130.* Drunkenness, that worst of evils, makes some men fools, some beasts, some devils.

131. Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

132. Eat few suppers, and you'll need few medicines.

133.* Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others.

134. Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure.
