Death and marriage make term day Death defies the doctors Delays are dangerous Do weel and dread nae shame Do well and have well Do what you ought and come what will Do the likeliest and hope the best Do as the lasses do, say no and tak it                  Double drinks are gude for drouth Double charges rive cannons Draft's gude cnough for swine Drink little that ye may drink lang Dree out the inch when ye have thol'd the span

Eat well's drink well's brother Eating and drinking want but a beginning Either live or die with honour Evening oats are good morning fother Enough's as good's a feast Every ane creeshes the fat sow's arse Every ane kens best whare his ain shoe nips him Every craw thinks its ain bird, whitest Every man wears his belt his ain gait Every man's tale is good till anither's be tauld Every man has his ain draff pock Experience teaches fools.

FAINT heart never won a fair lady Fair heights make fools fain Fair words winna gar the pot play Fancy kills and cures Fancy flees before the wind Far awa fowls have fair feathers Feckless fouk are aye fain of ane anither Fiddler's dogs and flesh flies come to feasts unca'd                  Fine feathers make fine birds
