Having is having, come whence it may, [151]

He asks advice in vain who will not follow it, [46]

He avoided the fly and swallowed the spider, [278]

He beat the bushes and another caught the birds, [20]

He begins to grow bad who believes himself good, [88]

He burns the candle at both ends, [325]

He buys honey dear who has to lick it off thorns, [327]

He buys very dear who begs, [268]

He buys well who is not called a donkey, [205]

He came time enough who was hung by candlelight, [373]
