If a man would learn to pray let him go often to sea, [54]

If a poor man gives to you, he expects more in return, [294]

If envy were a fever, all the world would be ill, [402]

If every one were wise, a fool would be the prize, [174]

If folly were a pain, there would be groaning in every house, [257]

If fools ate no bread, corn would be cheap, [178], [345]

If God bids thee draw, he will find thee a rope; if he bids thee ride, he will find thee a horse, [349]

If God gives not bushelfuls, he gives spoonfuls, [371]

If he waits long enough, the world will be his own, [299]
