Death and marriage make term day Death defies the doctors Delays are dangerous Do well an ! 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 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 as a feast Every ane creeshes the fat sow's arse Every one 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 fowls have fair feathers Feckless fouk are aye fain of ane anither Fiddlers dogs, and flesh flies; come to feasts unca'd                        Fine feathers make fine birds
