It needs a light spirit to bear a heavy fate, [357]

It needs but slight provocation to make the wolf devour the lamb, [359]

It never thunders but it rains, [115]

It sticks to his fingers, like the charity-money to the matron, [321]

It takes a good many mice to kill a cat, [357]

It takes four living men to carry one dead man out of a house, [66]

It takes many words to fill a sack, [356]

It will all come out in the soap-suds, [259]

“It will come back,” said the man, when he gave his sow pork, [362]

It will not do to keep holidays before they come, [23]
