The fish lead a pleasant life, they drink when they like, [140]

The fisherman fishes in troubled water, [284]

The flame is not far from the smoke, [385]

The flatterer’s throat is an open sepulchre, [100]

The flawed pot lasts longest, [36]

The flitch hangs never so high but a dog will look out for the bone, [368]

The fly flutters about the candle till at last it gets burnt, [306]

The fly that bites the tortoise breaks its beak, [106]

The fool cuts himself with his own knife, [32]

The fool hunts for misfortune, [32]
