He is too idle to fetch his breath, [326]

He is too stupid to be trusted alone by the fire, [326]

He is very blind who cannot see the sun, [75]

He is wise who learns at another’s cost, [125]

He is worthy of sweets who has tasted bitters, [353]

He is young enough who has health, and he rich enough who has no debts, [353]

He is your friend who gets you out of a scrape, [201], [267]

He keeps his word, as the sun keeps butter, [325]

He knocks boldly at the door who brings good news, [19], [72], [373]

He knows best where the shoe pinches who wears it, [356], [373]
