“If you have no money, turn placeman!” as the court fool said to his prince, [152]

If you let them put the calf on your shoulders, it will not be long before they clap on the cow, [126]

If you listen at a hole, you will hear ill of yourself as well as others, [222]

If you love me, John, your acts will tell me so, [256]

If you pay what you owe, what you’re worth you’ll know, [238]

If you pull one pig by the tail all the rest squeak, [339]

If you want clear water, draw it from the spring, [294]

If you want fire, look for it in the ashes, [181]

If you want to be dead, wash your head and go to bed, [257]
