The shortest follies are the best, [35]

The shovel scouts the poker, [30]

The sick man is free to say all, [109]

The sick man is vexed with the flies on the wall, [137]

The sick man sleeps when the debtor cannot, [106]

The silent dog is the first to bite, [168]

The silent man is most trusted, [400]

The skin is nearer than the shirt, [30]

The sky is not the less blue because the blind man does not see it, [374]

The smith’s dog sleeps at the noise of the hammer, and wakes at the grinding of teeth, [219]
