9 He’s wise that’s timely wary

He’s as welcome as water in a riven ship

He’s an Aberdeen man, take his word again

He’s no sae daft as he lets on

He’s a proud fox that winna scrape his ain hole

He’s a hawk of a right nest

He’s a silly chief that can neither do nor say

He’s the gear that winna traik

He’s weel wordy sorrow that buys it

He’s like the sing’d cat, better than he’s likely

He sleeps as dogs do when wives sift meal

He that blaws best let him bear the horn

He that clatters to himself talks to a fool

He that canna mak sport shou’d mar nane

He that does you an ill turn will ne’er forgie you

He that deals in dirt has aye foul fingers

He that gets forgets, but he that wants thinks o’t

He that has a good crop may thole some thistles

He that has meikle wad aye hae mair

He that has but ae eye maun tent that well

He that has a muckle nose thinks ilk ane speaks o’t

He that’s ill to himself will be good to nobody

He that lends his pot may seethe his kail in his loof

He that laughs at his ain sport spills the sport o’t

He that lippens to bodden ploughs, his land lies lee

He that lives upon hope has a slim diet

He that looks to freets, freets follow him

He that shaws his purse bribes the thief

He that sleeps with dogs maun rise with flaes

He that seeks motes gets motes

He that speers all opinions comes ill speed

He that teaches himself has a fool for a master

He that winna when he may, shanna when he wad

He that wad eat the kirnal maun crack the nut

He that winna thole maun flit mony a hole

He was the bee that made the honey

He wad gang a mile to flit a sow

He winna send you away with a sair heart
