The lucky pennyworth sells soonest. The langest day will have an end. The laird may be laird and need his hind's help. The mair cost the mair honour. The master's eye makes the horse fat. The mair mischief the better sport. The pains o'ergangs the profit. The poor man's aye put to the warst. The poor man, pays for a'. The poor man's shilling is but a penny. The scholar may war the master. The still sow eats up a' draff. The simple man's the begger's brother. The thiefer-like, the better sodger. The thing that's done is no to do. The tod keeps aye his ain hole clean. The tod's whelps are ill to tame. The worth of a thing is best kent by the want o't.          The warld is bound to nae man. There is mony a true tale tald in a jest. There is a measure in a' things There is nane sae blind as them that wadna see. There is naething ill said that's no ill tane. There was never a fair word in flyting. There was never enough where naething was left. There is a skill in gruel making. There is a great differ amang market days. There is an end of an auld sang. There is aye life for a living man. There are mae ways to the wood then ane. There are mae married than good house-hadders. There never came ill after good advertisement There grows nae grass at the cross. There is life in a mussel as lang as it cheeps.
