Proverbs

Happy is he that is happy in his children
Hard words break no bones
Hares may pull dead lions by the beard
Harm watch, harm catch
Haste makes waste
Hasty climbers have sudden falls
Hate not at the first harm
Hatred is blind, as well as love
Hawks will not pick hawks' eyes
He begins to die that quits his desires
He cannot speak well that cannot hold his tongue
He carries fire in one hand and water in the other
He dances well to whom fortune pipes
He gives twice who gives in a trice
He goes long barefoot that waits for dead man's shoes
He is a fool that forgets himself
He is a good friend that speaks well of us behind our backs
He is happy that thinks himself so
He is lifeless that is faultless
He is not fit to command others that cannot command himself
He is not laughed at that laughs at himself first
He is not poor that has little, but he that desires much
He jests at scars that never felt a wound
He knows best what good is that has endured evil
He knows how many beans make five
He knows much who knows how to hold his tongue
He laughs best who laughs last
He lives long that lives well
He must needs swim that is held up by the chin
He should have a long spoon that sups with the devil
He smells best that smells of nothing
He that comes first to the hill may sit where he will
He that commits a fault thinks everyone speaks of it
He that does you an i!i turn will never forgive you
He that fears every bush must never go a-birding
He that fears you present wiil hate you absent
He that goes a borrowing, goes a sorrowing
He that goes barefoot must not plant thorns
He that has a full purse never wanted a friend
He that has a great nose thinks everybody is speaking of it
