Better to ask the way than go astray. When you are in Rome do as the Romans do. A rolling stone gathers no moss. You have to learn to walk before you run. The early bird catches a worm. Custom makes all things easy. If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either. A picture is worth a thousand words. He that is always shooting must sometimes hit. You never know what you can do till you try. Example is better than precept. A hedge between keeps friendship green. He who touches pitch will be defiled.
