L
Lady, a great, [89]
Last straw breaks camel’s back, [46], [103]
Laugh best who laugh last, [206]
Laugh in forced manner, [46]
Laughing-stock, [207]
Laugh in one’s sleeve, [31], [53]
Laugh on wrong side of face, [207]
Laugh to-day, cry to-morrow, [206]
Lazy people take most pains, [178]
Least said soonest mended, [179]
Leave no stone unturned, [71], [106]
Leave without beat of drum, [92]
Legal tender, [86]
Let cat out of the bag, [159]
Let sleeping dogs lie, [64]
Let those laugh who win, [206]
Lie unblushingly, [21]
Life and soul of party, [47]
Life in the old dog yet, [43]
Light as air, [106]
Lightly come, lightly go, [126]
Like as two peas, as, [102]
Like master, like man, [155], [218]
Like sire, like son, [69], [209]
Like will to like, [58]
Lion had need of the mouse, [129]
Lion’s mouth, to rush into, [153]
Little fellows are often great wits, [209]
Little pitchers have long ears, [64]
Little pot soon hot, [185]
Little rain lays much dust, [1]
Little strokes fell great oaks, [184]
Loan loses self and friend, [13]
Lock stable door, [105]
Long lane without turning, [176]
Long looked for comes at last, [169]
Look before you leap, [124]
Look gift-horse in mouth, [49], [66]
Look sharp about it! [232]
Lose nothing for want of asking, [206]
Lose one’s head, [45]
Lot of good that will do, [145]
Love dies hard, true, [10]
Love laughs at locksmiths, [14]
Love me, love my dog, [10]
Lurch, to leave in the, [188]
