Light burdens break nae banes. Like the eur in the crub, he'll neither do nor let do. Like's an ill mark. Lippen to me but look to yoursel. Little kend the less car'd for. Little odds between a feast and a fu' wame. Loud at the loan was ne'er a good milk cow. Love's as warm among cotters as eourtiers. Love your friend and look to yoursel. M                  Maiden's bairns are aye well bred. Mair by luek than good guiding. Mair hamely than welcome. Make ae lang step and down ye gae. Make a kirk or a mill o't.                  Make the best of an ill bargain. Make your hay when the sun shines. Malice is aye mindfu'. Many court the child for the sake of the nurse. May-bees flee not at this time of the year. Meat and mass hinders no man. Mettle is dangerous in a blind horse. Mickle wad aye hae mare. Money makes a man free every where. Mair hast the waur speed. Mony hands make light wark. Mony hounds may soon worry a hare. Mony a ane serves a thankless master. Mony wyte their wife for their ain thriftless life Mony dogs die or ye fa' heir. Mony a ane's gear has hastened his hinder end Mony good nights is laith away. Mony ways to kill a dog though ye dinna hang him Mony cooks ne'er made good kai!.
