A BIRD IN THE HAND IS BETTER THAN TWO IN THE BUSH
BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER
CHOOSE THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS
EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF
LET WELL ALONE
NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION
ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY
ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER
SLOW BUT STEADY WINS THE RACE
THINK BEFORE YOU ACT
YOU CANNOT ESCAPE YOUR FATE
Any present-day "Aesop" major in morality? Or is morality extinct and to be denigrated derided decimated?
