Speaking silence is better than senseless speech, [350]
Speech is oft repented, silence seldom, [386]
Speedy rise, speedy fall (Sudden glory soon goes out), [168]
Spending your money with many a guest, empties the kitchen, the cellar, and chest, [190]
Spilt salt is never well collected, [255], [299]
Spinner, spin softly, you disturb me; I am praying, [278]
Spit not in the well, you may have to drink its water, [40]
Spur not a willing horse, [1], [77], [188]
Stagnant water grows stinking, [170]
Stand up, farthing, let the florin sit down (Stand up, cent, let the dollar sit down), [152]
