Think twice before you speak once

Think of the end before you begin

We must learn to walk before we can run

Try before you trust

Try your friend before you trust

To cook a hare before catching him

To cast pearls before swine

The righteous man sins before an open chest

The next day is never so good as the day before

The darkest hour is that before the dawn

The camel never sees its own hump, but that of its brother is always before its eyes

Thatch your roof before the rain begins

Sweep before your own door

Solomon was a wise man, and Sampson was a strong man, yet neither of them could pay money before they had it

Score twice before you cut once

Pay beforehand was never well served

Might goes before right

Measure twice before you cut once

Look before you leap, but having leapt never look back

Look before you leap

None knows what will happen to him before sunset

No man can be called happy before his death

Never spend your money before you have it

There is nothing said which has not been said before

To sell the bear’s skin before one has caught the bear

To put (set) the cart before the horse

He who pleased everybody died before he was born

Hold opportunity by her forelock, before she turns her tail

If every man would sweep before his own door, the city would soon be clean

If you laugh before breakfast you’ll cry before supper

If you sing before breakfast, you’ll cry before night

If you trust before you try, you may repent before you die

If you would have your work ill done, pay beforehand

Death is the black camel that kneels before every door

Do not cast your pearls before swine
