Count

Count cash as if it were gold and so avoid the least mistake.Chinese.

Count like Jews and agree like brethren.

Count not your chickens before they’re hatched,
Eat not your gudgeons before they’re catched.Butler.

Count siller after a’ your kin.

He that counts a’ costs will ne’er put plough i’ the ground.

Wrong count is no payment.
