Sloth is the beginning of vice.

Small gains bring great wealth.

Smoke, stench, and a troublesome wife are what drive men from home.

So got, so gone.

Soft and fair goeth far.

Soon fire, soon ashes.

Soon grass, soon hay.

Soon ripe, soon rotten; soon wise, soon foolish.

Sooner or later the truth comes to light.

Sorrow will pay no debts.

Sow not money on the sea, lest it sink.

Spare at the spigot, and let out the bunghole.

Spare the rod and spoil the child.

Spare the rod, spoil the child.

Speaking is silver, silence is gold.

Starved lice bite the hardest.

Stay a while, and lose a mile.

Step by step one goes far.

Still waters are deep.

Stock-fish are made tender by much beating.

Strain not your bow beyond its bent, lest it break.

Stretch your legs no farther than your coverlet.

Strew no roses before swine.

Supple as a glove.

Surfeits slay mae than swords.
