adam ate the apple, and our teeth still ache the cat shut its eyes when stealing cream the devil goes shares in gaming the devil finds work for idle hands to do the devil rebuking sin the devil's shoes never squeak the dog returns to his vomit an innocent plowman is of more worth than a vicious prince every sin carries its own punishment he that will steal an arrow will steal a horse it is not a sin to sell dear, but it is to make ill measure it's a sin to steal a pin let him that is without sin cast the first stone men are punished by their sins, not for them old sins cast long shadows one sin opens the door for another that which is evil is soon learned they that sin are enemies to themselves a vice lives and thrives by concealment when the devil was sick, the devil a monk would be a wicked man is his own hell young saints, old devils your sins will find you out
