To do like the monkey, get the chesnuts out of the fire with the cat’s paw, [17]

To do nothing teacheth to do evil, [335]

To do, one must be doing, [42]

To draw the foot out of the mire, [255]

To draw the snake out of the hole with another’s hand, [209]

To eat and to scratch, one has but to begin, [209]

To eat, drink, and sleep together, is marriage, methinks, [8]

To err is human (to forgive, divine), [154], [312]

To every bird its nest seems fair, [6]

To every evil-doer his evil day, [193]
