To kill a mercer for a comb, [60]

To kill the hen by way of getting the egg, [60]

To kill two birds with one stone, [282], [339]

To know a man well one must have eaten a bushel of salt with him, [46]

To know everything is to know nothing, [129]

To know the law and do the right are two things, [348]

To lather an ass’s head is only wasting soap, [262], [277]

To laugh in one’s sleeve, [330]

To live from hand to mouth, [64]

To live long is to suffer long, [383]
