SAIR cravers are aye ill payers Say well and do well end with ae letter Say well's good and do well is better Say still no and ye'll never be married Scant of cheeks makes a lang nose Scart the cog wad sup mair Scorn comes commonly with skaith Seeing's believing a' the world o'er Send ye to the sea, ye'll no get saut water Serve yonrsel till your bairns come to age Set that down on the back-side of your count-book Set a knave to catch a knave Set a stout heart to a stay brae Sharp stomachs make short graces She is a wise wife that wat hier ain weird She looks as if butter wad na melt on her mou' She hands up her head like a hen drinking water She's not to be made a song of She's better than she's bonny Sic as ye gie, sick will ye get Silence grips the mouse Sic reek as is therein comes out of the lum Slaw at meat slaw at wark Smooth waters rin deep Sma' fish are better than nae fish Sorrow is soon enough when it comes Sorrow and ill weather come unsent for Some hae a hantle of auts ye'er only a ne'er-do-well Speak good of pipers your father was a fiddler Spilt ale is waur than water Stuffings hauds out storms Stown dints are sweeter Sudden friendship, sure repentance Supped out wort was ne'er gude ale Surfeits slay mair than swords Swear by your burnt shins Sweer to bed and sweer up in the morning
