7 Count again is not forbidden: Count siller after a' your kin. Credit keeps the crown of the causey. Credit is better than ill luck. Crooked carlin, quoth the carle to his wife. Count not your chickens before they are hatched. D DAWTED bairns do bear little. Day-light will peep through a small hole. Death and marriage make term-days. Death defies the doctors. Diligence is the mother of good luck. Delays are dangerous. Do well and dread na shame. Do well and have well. Do what you ought come what will. Do the likeliest and hope the best. Do as the lasses do, say no, and take it. Double drinks are good for drouth. Double charges rive cannons. Draff's good enough for swine. Drink little that ye may drink lang. Dree out the inch when ye have thol’d the span. E Eat well's drink well's brother. Eating and drinking wants but a beginning. Either live or die with honour. Enough's as good as a feast. Evening oats are good morning fother. Every thing hath en end and a pudding has twa. Every one kens best where his ain shoe nips him Every craw thinks his ain bird whitest. Every man wears his belt his ain gait. Every man's tale is good till anither's be tauld.
