What was hard to bear is sweet to remember, [290]

What water gives, water takes away, [263]

What we want in hay we make up in straw, [175]

What will be, will be, [77]

What you can’t have, abuse, [123]

What you dislike for yourself do not like for me, [229]

What you do, do quickly, [175]

What you do, do thoroughly (Age quod agis), [22]

What you do yourself is well done, [397]

What you give, is written in sand; what you take, with an iron hand, [177]
