 19 The mair noble the mair humble The master's eye makes the horse fat The mair mischief the better sport The pains o'ergans the profit The poor man's aye put to the warst The poor man pays for a The poor man's shilling is but a penny The stranger horse loups the dyke The scholar may waur the master The still sow eats up as the draff The smith has aye a sperk in his hawse The simple man's the beggar's brother The thiefer like the better sodger The thing that's one is no to do The thing theat's fristed is no forgeim The tod keeps aye his ain hole clean The tod's whelps are ill to tame The warst warld that ever was some man wan The worth of a thing is best kend by the want o't The world is bound to nae man The unsonsy fish gets aye unlucky bait There is mony a true tale tauld is jest There is a measure in a things There is nane sae blind as them that winna see There is naething ill said that's no ill tane There was never a fair word in flyting There was never a cake but had its make There was never enough where naething was left There is skill in gruel making There is a time to glee and a time to look even There is a great difference amang market days There is an end of an auld sang There is aye life for a living man There are mae ways to the wood than ane There are mae married than good-ladders There never came ill of good advisement There is fey blood in your bed There grows nae grass at the cross
