Things are not always what they seem [appear] to be

You see a mote in another´s eye but not a beam in your own

You can see a mote in another’s eye but cannot see a beam in your own

Words are but wind, but seeing is believing

Whilst you seek new friends, make much of the old ones

They who live longest will see most

We see not what is in the wallet behind

We shall see what we shall see

Truth seeks no corners

Tis wisdom sometimes to seem fool

The onlookers see more than players

The more a man learns, the more he sees his ignorance

The hunchback does not see his own hump, but sees his companion’s

The eye that sees all things else sees not itself

The camel never sees its own hump, but that of its brother is always before its eyes

The camel going to seek horns lost his ears

Talk of the devil and you will see his horns

Small is the seed of every greatness

Seldom seen, soon forgoten

Seen one, seen all

Seek your save where you got your sore

Seek and ye shall find

Seeing is believing

Poor men seek meat for their stomach; rich men stomach for their meat

One year’s seeding makes seven years weeding

Nature has given us two ears, two eyes, and but one tongue; to the end we should hear and see more than we speak

Love sees no faults

Lookers-on see most of the game

Lookers-on see more than players

Longer we live, the more farlies (gauza harrigarri) we see

Of evil grain, no good seed can come

Nothing is certain but the unforseen

Never was cat or dog drowned, that could but see the shore

Standers-by see more than gamesters

He that would live in peace and rest, must hear and see, and say the least
