On dry land even brackish water is good, [222]

On poor people’s beards the young barber learns his trade, [134]

Once a thief always a thief, [181], [309]

Once in people’s mouths, ’tis hard to get out of them, [144]

Once is no custom, [61], [314]

Once resolved, the trouble is over, [121]

Once upon a time, no time (or Some day, no day), [144]

One always returns to one’s first love, [43]

One always knocks oneself in the sore place, [43]

One ass among monkeys is grinned at by all, [260]
