It is not for the good of the cow when she is driven in a carriage, [358]

It is not for the swan to teach eaglets to sing, [358]

It is not good to be the poet of a village, [146]

It is not in the pilot’s power to prevent the wind from blowing, [235]

It is not necessary to fish up every bucket that falls into the well, [112]

It is not the big oxen that do the best day’s work, [34]

It is not the cowl that makes the friar, [305]

It is not the fine, but the coarse and ill-spun that breaks, [237]

It is not the greatest beauties that inspire the most profound passion, [10]

It is not the hen which cackles most that lays most eggs, [322]
