| Life is but a span |
| Life is not a bed of roses |
| Life is not all cakes and ale (beer and skittles) |
| Like a cat on hot bricks |
| Like a needle in a haystack |
| Like begets like |
| Like cures like |
| Like draws to like |
| Like father, like son |
| Like master, like man |
| Like mother, like daughter |
| Like parents, like children |
| Like priest, like people |
| Like teacher, like pupil |
| Little chips light great fires |
| Little knowledge is a dangerous thing |
| Little pigeons can carry great messages |
| Little pitchers have long ears |
| Little strokes fell great oaks |
| Little thieves are hanged, but great ones escape |
| Little things amuse little minds |
| Live and learn |
| Live and let live |
| Live not to eat, but eat to live |
| Long absent, soon forgotten |
| Look before you leap |
| Look before you leap, but having leapt never look back |
| Lookers-on see more than players |
| Lord (God, Heaven) helps those (them) who help themselves |
| Lost time is never found again |
| Love cannot be forced |
| Love in a cottage |
| Love is blind, as well as hatred |
| Love me, love my dog |
| Love will creep where it may not go |
| Make haste slowly |
| Make hay while the sun shines |
| Make or mar |
| Man proposes but God disposes |
| Many a fine dish has nothing on it |
