The more one has the more one wants, [250]
The more servants the worse service, [328]
The more shepherds the less care, [382]
The more the fox is cursed, the more prey he catches, [123]
The more the well is used the more water it yields, [155]
The more you court a clown the statelier he grows, [261]
The more you stir a t—d (or filth, or mire) the more it stinks, [46], [155], [328], [357]
The more you stroke the cat’s back the more she sets up her tail, [123]
