| What can't be cured, must be endured |
| What is bred in the bone will not go out of the flesh |
| What is done by night appears by day |
| What is done cannot be undone |
| What is got over the devil's back is spent under his belly |
| What is lost is lost |
| What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander |
| What is worth doing at alt is worth doing well |
| What must be, must be |
| What the heart thinks the tongue speaks |
| What we do willingly is easy |
| When angry, count a hundred |
| When at Rome, do as the Romans do |
| When children stand quiet, they have done some harm |
| When flatterers meet, the devil goes to dinner |
| When guns speak it is too late to argue |
| When pigs fly |
| When Queen Anne was alive |
| When the cat is away, the mice will play |
| When the devil is blind |
| When the fox preaches, take care of your geese |
| When the pinch comes, you remember the old shoe |
| When three know it, alt know it |
| When wine is in wit is out |
| Where there's a will, there's a way |
| While the grass grows the horse starves |
| While there is life there is hope |
| Who breaks, pays |
| Who has never tasted bitter, knows not what is sweet |
| Who keeps company with the wolf, will learn to howl |
| Wise after the event |
| With time and patience the leaf of the mulberry becomes satin |
| Words pay no debts |
| You can take a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink |
| You cannot eat your cake and have it |
| You cannot flay the same ox twice |
| You cannot judge a tree by it bark |
| You cannot teach old dogs new tricks |
| You cannot wash charcoal white |
| You made your bed, now lie in it |
| Zeal without knowledge is a runaway horse |
