You may know by a handful the whole sack

They are hand in glove

They are hand and glove

Whatsoever thou takes thou in hand, remember the end

Two [many] hands [wits] are better than one

To live from hand to mouth

To come out with clean hands

To carry fire in one hand and water in the other

To be wise behind the hand

Tis safest making peace with sword in hand

The foot on the cradle and hand on the distaff is the sign of a good housewife

The devil makes work for idle hands

The devil finds work for idle hands to do

The devil finds mischief for idle hands

Puddings and paramours should be hotly handled

Pay beforehand was never well served

Many kiss the hand they wish cut off

Many hands make light work

Nothing is stolen without hands

No man fouls his hands in his own business

To work with the left hand

To throw the stone and hide the hand

Stretching out the hand to catch the stars, he forgets the flowers at his feet

When thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth

The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world

The hand that gives, gathers

One hand washes the other

He who flings gold away with his hands seeks it with his feet

He who has the frying-pan in his hand turns it at will

If thou thyself canst do it, attend no other’s help or hand

Dallies with his enemy, dies by his own hand

Dogs that bark at distance bite not at hand

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you

A sparrow in the hand is better than a pheasant that flies by

A man’s hat in his hand, never did him any harm
