The saint who works no cures has few pilgrims to his shrine, [55]

The saint’s-day over, farewell the saint, [29]

The same fire purifies gold and consumes straw, [126]

The same shoe does not fit every foot, [74]

The scabbier the sheep the harder it bleats, [328]

The scalded cat (or dog) dreads cold water, [101], [223]

The scoffer’s own house is often on fire, [357]

The secret in swimming is to know how to take care of your clothes, [226]

The secret of two is God’s secret, the secret of three is everybody’s secret, [56]

The servant wench that has a mother in town swoons seven times a day, [250]
