- when all fruit fails, welcome haws
- when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail
- when Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war
- when house and land are gone and spent, then learning is most excellent
- when in doubt, do nothing
- when in Rome, do as the Romans do
- when one door closes, another one opens
- when poverty comes in at the door, love flies out of the window
- when the cat's away, the mice will play
- when the going gets tough, the tough get going
- when the wind is in the east, 'tis neither good for man nor beast
- when the wine is in, the wit is out
- when thieves fall out, honest men come by their own
- when things are at the worst they begin to mend
- when you are in a hole, stop digging
- when you argue with a fool, make sure he isn't similarly engaged
- when you go to dance, take heed whom you take by the hand
- where bees are, there is honey
- where God builds a church, the devil will build a chapel
- where the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered
- where there's a will there's a way
- where there's muck there's brass
- where there's no vision, the people perish
- which came first, the chicken or the egg?
- while the grass grows, the steed starves
- while there's life there's hope
