Proverbs

Health is not valued till sickness comes
His money burns a hole in his pocket
Honesty is the best policy
Honey is not for the ass's mouth
Honey is sweet, but the bee stings
Honour and profit lie not in one sack
Honours change manners
Hope is a good breakfast, but a bad supper
Hope is the poor man's bread
Hunger breaks stone walls
Hunger finds no fault with cookery
Hunger is the best sauce
Hungry bellies have no ears
Idle folks lack no excuses
Idleness is the mother of all evil
Idleness rusts the mind
If an ass (donkey) bray at you, don't bray at him
If ifs and ans were pots and pans
If my aunt had been a man, she'd have been my uncle
If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch
If the sky falls, we shall catch larks
If there were no clouds, we should not enjoy the sun
If things were to be done twice all would be wise
If we can't as we would, we must do as we can
If wishes were horses, beggars might ride
If you agree to carry the calf, they'll make you carry the cow
If you cannot bite, never show your teeth
If you cannot have the best, make the best of what you have
If you dance you must pay the fiddler
If you laugh before breakfast you'll cry before supper
If you run after two hares, you will catch neither
If you sell the cow, you sell her milk too
If you throw mud enough, some of it will stick
If you try to please all you will please none
If you want a thing well done, do it yourself
Ill-gotten gains never prosper
Ill-gotten, ill-spent
In every beginning think of the end
In for a penny, in for a pound
In the country of the blind one-eyed man is a king
