He sleeps securely who has nothing to lose, [17]
He slumbers enough who does nothing, [5]
He sticks his nose in everything (He has his finger in every pie), [145]
He struts as valiantly as an English cock, [327]
He studies the Bible of fifty-two leaves (a pack of cards), [326]
He sups ill who eats up all at dinner, [37]
He swims on his own bulrush, [328]
He takes out a nail and puts in a pin, [77]
He that abideth low cannot fall hard, [310]
He that at twenty is not, at thirty knows not, and at forty has not, will never be, nor ever know, nor ever have, [79]
