21

There is little for the rake after the shool. They are aye good that are far away. They are not a' saints that ret holy water. They loo me for little that hate me for nought. They that give you hinder you to buy. They that drink langest live langest. They that lie down for love shou'd rise for hunger. They that bourd with cats maun count upo' scarts, Thistles are a salled for asses. Thole well is good for burning. Till ither tinklers ill my ye gree. Time tint' is ne'er to be found. Three can keep a secret if twa be awa. Time and thinking tame the strongest grief. Time and tide will tarry on nae man. Tine thimble tane thrift. Time tries a' as winter tries the kail. Touch a gaw'd horse on the back and he'll fling. Truth and honesty keep the crown of the causey. Try your friend or you need him. Two hungry meals make the third a glutton. Twa fools in a house are a couple o'er mony. Twa words maun gang to that bärgain. Twa wits are better than ane. W WANT of wit is waur than want of health. Weans maun creep ere they gang. Welcome is the best dish in the kitchen. Well is that well does. Were it not for hope, heart wad break. We are aye to learn as lang as we live. We can shape their wylie coat, but no their word. We'll bark oursels ere' we buy dog. We canna Laith sup and blaw.
