Las palabras, como las plumas, se las lleva el viento

Las estrellas inclinan, pero no obligan

Las doce, la que tenga a mi novio que no lo goce

Las desgracias no vienen solas

Las cosas se toman según de quien vengan

Las cosas se caen por su propio peso

Las apariencias engañan

Las aguas siempre vuelven a su nivel

Ladrón que roba a ladrón, merece el perdón

La venganza nunca es buena, mata el alma y la envenena

La última la paga el diablo

La tercera es la vencida

La suerte de la fea la bonita la desea

La soga rompe por lo más delgado

Los trapos sucios se lavan en casa

La práctica hace el maestro

La mujer es como el espejo, si se toca mucho se empaña

La luz de alante es la que alumbra

La luna no es de queso ni se come con melao

La ley entra por la casa

La ley de Dios no tiene trampa

La lengua es arma de doble filo

La ignorancia es atrevida

La gota que colmó la copa

La gallina vieja da buen caldo
