When it thunders, the thief becomes honest, [123]

When joy is in the parlour, sorrow is in the passage, [391]

When lazy horses begin to start, old women to dance, and white clouds to rain, there is no stopping them, [392]

When many shepherds tend the sheep, they but so much the longer sleep, [340]

When mistrust enters, love departs, [379]

When need is greatest, help is nearest, [178]

When neighbours quarrel, lookers-on are more apt to add fuel than water, [401]

When nought comes to aught, it does not know itself, [299]

When old horses get warm, they are not easily held in, [177]
