21

135. Ever since follies have pleased, fools have been able to divert.

136.* Every man has assurance enough to boast of his honesty, few of their understanding.

137. Experience keeps a dear school, yet fools will learn in no other.

138. Eyes and priests bear no jests.

139. Fear God, and your enemies will fear you.

140.* Fear not death; for the sooner we die, the longer shall we be immortal.

141. Fear to do ill, and you need fear nought else.

142.* Fine linen, girls and gold so bright, choose not to take by candle light.

143.* Fish and visitors stink in three days.

144. Fly pleasures and they'll follow you.

145.* Fond pride of dress is sure an empty curse; e'er fancy you consult, consult your purse.

146. Fools make feasts, and wise men eat 'em.

147. Fools multiply folly.

148.* Fools need advice most, but wise men only are the better for it.
