Ragged colts make the handsomest stallions, [135]

Rain comes oft after sunshine, and after a dark cloud a clear sky, [394]

Raise no more devils than you can lay, [160]

Rather a husband with one eye than with one son, [289]

Rather a single grape for me than a brace of figs for thee, [27]

Rather an ass that carries than a horse that throws, [121]

Rather go rob with good men than pray with bad, [266]

Rather hat in hand than hand in purse, [121]

Rather have a little one for your friend, than a great one for your enemy, [65]

Rather lose the wool than the sheep, [266]
