One bee is as good as a handful of flies.

One bird in the dish is better than a hundred in the air.

One can speak and seven can sing.

One cannot keep peace longer than his neighbour will let him.

One cannot love and be wise.

One cannot wash a blackamoor white.

One catches the hare, another eats it.

One coward makes ten.

One does evil enough when one does nothing good.

One dog growls to see another go into the kitchen.

One enemy can harm you more than a hundred friends can do you good.

One foe is too many, and a hundred friends are too few.

One fool may ask more questions than seven wise men can answer.

One fool praises another.

One hair of a woman draws more than a bell-rope.

One half of the world does not know how the other half lives.

One half the world laughs at the other half.

One has only to die to be praised.

One hour's sleep before midnight is better than two after it.

One hour's sleep before midnight is worth two after.

One kisses the child for the mother's sake, and the mother for the child's sake.

One kisses the nurse for the sake of the child.

One link broken, the whole chain is broken.

One log does not burn long by itself.

One man is another's devil.
