                                              4 A's well that ends well. A' things are good untry'd.                      A man eanna bear a' his kin on his back. A man may be kind and gie little o' his gear. A man's well or wae as he thinks himself sae. A misty morning may be a clear day. A muffled eat was ne'er a good hunter. An auld mason makes a good barrow-man, An auld saek eraves much elouting. An auld poek is aye skailing. An auld dog bites sicker. An ill shearer nexer gat a good hook. An ill plea should be well pled. An ill turn is soon done. An ill servant ne'er prov'd a good master. An ill wife and a new kindled candle should aye. hae their head hadden down. Ane never tines by doing good. Ane may bind a saek before it be fou'. Ane is no sae soon heal'd as hurt Ane will gar a thousand lie. A new besom sweeps clean. A nod of an honest man is enough. A rowing stane gathers nae fog. As broken a ship has come to land. As brisk as bottled ale. As lang lives the merry man as the sad. As the sow fills the draff sours. As the auld coek eraws the young one learns As the fool thinks the bell clinks. A sillerless man gangs fast thraugh the market. A sorrowfu' heart's aye dry. At open doors dogs come in. A taking hand will never want.
