6 Death and marriage make term-day

Death defines the doctors

Delays are dangerous

Do wll and dread nae shame

Do well and have well

Do what ye ought and come what will

Do the likeliest and hope the best

Do as the lasses do, say no, and take it

Double drinks are good for drouth

Double charges rive cannons

Draff‘s good enough for swine

Drink little that ye may drink lang

Dree out the inch when ye have thol'd the span

E EAT well's drink well's brother

Eating and drinking wants 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 sows arse

Every ane kens best where 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

F 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 away fools 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
