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]
