Keep Thy Shop
look after your shop and the customers, work hard and do not take it for granted
And They shop will keep thee
if you look after your shop you will have a good business and profit
He that lies with dogs, shall rise up with fleas
when you mix with people that are no good, bad morals, drugs etc you will be influenced by them and be judged as one of them
Experience keeps a dear school, yet fools will learn in no other
This means that some of us have to experience the same mistake more than once to learn the mistake and not make it again

If you are attentive and take care of your business, it will provide for you. If you do good work you should receive due compensation for your efforts.
If you run with the wrong crowd -- even if you aren't misbehaving as they are -- chances are you will be judged by others as guilty of bad behavior by association. (You might not be dirty but if a flea-ridden dog sleeps at the foot of your bed, you'll be very lucky to escape picking up a few fleas!)
Sometimes learning by experience can be a very expensive lesson (for example, you keep ignoring a particular stop sign until you're involved in an accident or receive a ticket and huge fine because you foolishly felt the law shouldn't apply to you or the sign shouldn't have been there in the first place). People who have to go through every single trial and tribulation to LEARN something, rather than learning by observation or from other's mistakes may be rather foolish -- if they live so long!

This is what I think: Keep Thy Shop, that means keep it well stocked, do everything you can to make it a success, and They shop will keep thee means , you will profit from it and make lots of money.
He that lies with dogs shall rise up with fleas. Just like it says.You'll get fleas from the dogs you lie with.
Experience keeps a dear school If you have a good teacher even a fool will learn. That's it folks!
