It is folly to sing twice to a deaf man, [358]

It is folly to take a thorn out of another’s foot and put it into your own, [358]

It is good fishing in troubled waters, [43], [202], [329]

It is good living under the shadow of the belfry, [126]

It is good rowing with set sail, [336]

It is good sailing with wind and tide, [341]

It is good speaking that improves good silence, [323]

It is good spinning from another’s yarn, [324]

It is good to be a priest at Easter, child in Lent, peasant at Christmas, and foal in harvest-time, [360]
