He can do but little who cannot threaten another, [203]
He cannot find water in the sea, [235]
He cannot lead a good life who serves without wages, [75]
He cannot lay eggs, but he can cackle, [327]
He carries fire and water, [26]
He counts his chickens before they are hatched, [327]
He cries out before he is hurt, [96]
He dances well to whom fortune pipes, [73], [177]
He did not invent gunpowder, [236]
He does a good day’s work who rids himself of a fool, [9]
