A fafe confciene maks a found fleep. A fhort tree ftands lang. A s man gangs faft thro’ the market. A finking mafter make aft a rifing man. A forrowfu' heart 's ay dry. As ye brew weel ye'll drink the better. A fpur in the head is worth twa in the heel. At open doors dogs gae. A tale-teller is waur than a thief. A tarrowing bairn was never fat. A tale never tines in the telling. A thread will tie an honeft man better than a rape will a knave. A tocheriefs dame fits lang at hame. A twapenny cat may look at a king. A wee bufh is better than nae bield. A wee thing fleys cowards. Auld men are twice bairns. Auld fparrows are ill to tame: A yeld low was never good to grycee
