NAE fool to an auld fool Nae friend to a friend in need to meet Nae great loss but there's some sma' advantage Nae man has a tack of his life Nae man can thrive unless his wife let him Nae penny nae paternoster Nae sooner up than her head's in the ambry Nae sae wading in unco waters Naething is balder than a blind mare Naething to be done in haste but gripping of flaes Naething to do but draw in your stool and sit down Nane but fools and knaves lay wagers Nane sae weel but hopes to be better Nane can play the fool sae weel as a wise man Narrow gathered widely spent Neck or naething, the king loes nae cripples Necessity has nae law Neither fish nor flesh nor gude red herring New lords have new laws Never do ill that gude may come Never put a sword into a madman's hand Never quat certainty for hope Never scaud your lips in ither folk's kail Never seek a wife till ye ken what to do with her Never shaw the meat but the man Never shaw your teeth unless you can bite Never tell your fae when your foot sleeps Nineteen nay-says of a maiden are half a grant Now's now, and yule's in the winter
