Promising is not giving, but serves to content fools, [292]

Prosperity forgets father and mother, [225]

Proverbs are the daughters of daily experience, [338]

Prudent men choose frugal wives, [157]

Public money is like holy water, every one helps himself to it, [101]

Pull gently at a weak rope, [296]

Pulling the devil by the tail does not lead far young or old, [58]

Put a beggar into your barn and he will make himself your heir, [232]

Put not all your eggs into one basket, [333]

Put out the fire betimes, ere it reach the roof, [159]
