I like not fair terms and a villain's mind.

I mistress and you miss, who is to sweep the house?

I neither give nor take, like a Jew on the Sabbath.

I never was satisfied with "I will, I will." One "take this" is better than two "I will give you."

I perfectly feel even at my fingers end.

I say it to you, daughter; hear it, daughter-in-law.

I stubborn and you stubborn, who is to carry the load?

I thought I had no husband, and I eat up the stew.

I thought to cross myself, and I put out my eye.

I'll marry, and eat the prime of the pot, and sit down first.

If folly were a pain, there would be groaning in every house.

If I am a fool, put your finger in my mouth.

If I die, I forgive you; if I live, we shall see.

If love be timid it is not true.

If lying were a capital crime, the hangman would work overtime.

If one, two, three say you are an ass, put on a tail.

If only I were a bird! Ah, but eating caterpillars?

If people lead, the leaders will follow.

If the child cries let the mother hush it, and if it will not be hushed let it cry.

If the eyes don't see, the heart won't break.

If the mountain will not go to Mahomet, Mahomet must go to the mountain.

If the pitcher knocks against a stone, woe to the pitcher; and if the stone knocks against the pitcher, woe to the pitcher.

If the rings are lost, here are the fingers still.

If the sky falls there will be pots broken.

If the sky falls we shall catch larks.
