Give an ass oats and he runs after thistles, [318]

Give at first asking what you safely can; ’tis certain gain to help an honest man, [322]

Give him a foot and he’ll take four, [57]

Give him an inch and he’ll take an ell, [318]

Give him your finger and he will seize your hand, [70], [299]

Give me a seat, and I will make myself room to lie down, [210]

Give me the rhubarb and you may take the senna, [45]

Give me money, not advice, [273]

Give me the ass that carries me in preference to the horse that throws me, [240]
