It is not the load but the overload that kills, [236]

It is not the long day, but the heart that does the work, [102]

It is not the surplice that makes parson or clerk, [382]

It is not till the cow has lost her tail that she discovers its value, [178]

It is nothing at all, only a woman drowning, [10]

It is nothing, they are only thrashing (or killing) my husband, [235], [285]

It is of no use making shoes for geese, [358]

It is only at the tree loaded with fruit that people throw stones, [42]

It is only good bargains that ruin, [26]
