The thorn comes into the world point foremost, [226]

The thread breaks where it is thinnest, [217]

The threatener loses the opportunity of vengeance, [215]

The threatener sometimes gets a drubbing, [58]

The threshold says nothing but what it hears of the hinge, [235]

The tired mare goes willingly to grass, [276]

The tired ox plants his foot firmly, [216]

The tongue goes where the tooth aches (or to the aching tooth), [29], [94], [196], [280]

The tongue of a bad friend cuts more than a knife, [226]

The tongue wounds more than a lance, [61]
