He does not a little who burns his house: he frightens the rats and warms himself, [235]

He does not guard himself well who is not always on his guard, [24]

He does not live in this world that can skin a grindstone, [354]

He doubts nothing who knows nothing, [284]

He drives a good waggonful into his farm who gets a good wife, [372]

He earns a farthing and has a penn’orth of thirst, [327]

He expects that larks will fall ready roasted into his mouth, [20]

He expects to find water at the first stroke of the spade, [195]

He falls into the pit who leads another into it, [207]

He falls on his back and breaks his nose, [26]
