S

Sadness and gladness succeed one another.

Satan always finds work for idle hands.

Saving is getting.

Saying and doing are two things.

Say nothing, think the more.

Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.

Second thoughts are best.

Seeing is believing.

Self do, self have.

Share and share alike.

Short pleasure, long lament.

Silence gives consent.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Soft fire makes sweet malt.

So many countries, so many customs.

So many men, so many minds.

Soon got, soon spent.

Soon learnt, soon forgotten.

Spare the rod and spoil the child.

Speech is silver; silence is golden.

Speech is the picture of the mind.

Standers-by see more than gamesters.

Still waters run deep.

Stolen fruit is sweetest.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Sweet are the uses of adversity.

Sweet discourse makes short days and nights.
