Sickness is every man's master.

Sight goes before hearsay.

Silent tongue and hempen heart often go together.

Silver and gold are all men's dears.

Slander expires at a good woman's door.

Slander leaves a score behind it.

Small beer comes the last.

Small profits are sweet.

Smoke, rain, and a scolding wife, are three bad things in a house.

So many heads, so many minds.

Sorrow seldom comes alone.

Sparrows should not dance with cranes, their legs are too short.

Speak little of your ill luck, and boast not of your good luck.

Speaking silence is better than senseless speech.

Speech is oft repented, silence seldom.

Speech is often repented, silence never.

Speech is silver, but silence is golden.

Speedy execution is the mother of good fortune.

Stoop, and let it pass; the storm will have its way.

Stop and smell the roses.

Stop, look and listen.

Strangers' meat is the greatest treat.

Straws tell which way the wind blows.

Suffering and patience, obedience and application, help the lowly born to honour.

Take advice of a red-bearded man, and be gone.
