Lay your hand on your bosom and you will not speak ill of another, [283]

Lean meat from a fat pig, [272]

Learn thou of learned men, th’ unlearned of thee; for thus must knowledge propagated be, [332]

Learned fools are the greatest of all fools, [140], [149]

Leave no nail unclenched, [113]

Leave the jest at its best, [195]

Leave the minster where it is, [29]

Lend to your friend, and ask payment of your enemy, [383]

Lent, which seems so long, is short at other men’s tables, [107]

Less advice and more hands, [177]
