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]

The morning hour has gold in its mouth, [162], [306], [390]

The mortar always smells of the garlic, [32], [103]
