10    He’ll make an ill rinner that canna gang. He'll wag as the bush wags. He may well swim that has his head hadden up. He maun be soon up that cheats the tod. He made a moon-light fitting. He may find fault that wanna mend. He may laugh that wins a'. He rides sicker that never fa's.    He's a fool that forgets himself. He's born deaf on that side of the head. He's wise that's timely wary. He's an Aberdeen man, take his word again. He's unco fou in his ain house, that eanua Pike a banė in his neighbour's.     He's no sae daft as he lets on. He's a proud fox that winna scrape his ain hole He's a hawk of a right nest. He’s a silly chief that can neither do nor say. He's the gear that winna traik. He's weel wordy sorrow that buys it. He's like the sing’d cat,better than he's bonny He sleeps as dogs do when wives bake cakes. He that blaws best thould bear the horn. He that elatters to himself talks to a fool. He that canna make sport shou'd mar nane. He that does you an ill turn will ne’er forgie You. He that deals in dirt has aye foul fingers. He that gets forgets, but he that wants thinks on’t. He that has a good crop may thole some thistles He that has meikle wad aye hae mair. He that has but ae eye maun tent that well. He that has a muckle nose thinksilk ane speaks o’t. He that's ill to himself will be good to     naebody. He that leads his pot may seethe hiskail in his Look.
