 Wha invited you to the roast?

Wha can haud what will away ?

Wha dare bell the cat ?

Wha can help misluck.

Wha comes aftener and brings less.

What ye win at that ye may lick aff a het girdle.

What winna do by might do by flight.

What's my case the day may be yours the morn.

What's war than ill luck ?

What need a rich man be a thief?

What canna be cured maun be endured.

When ae door sleeks anither opens.

When a’ men speak nae man hears.

When drink's in wit‘s out.

When friends meet hearts warm.

When my head's down my house is thecked.

When the tod preaches take care of the lambs.

When the wume‘s fou the banes wad be at rest.

When poverty comes in at the door, friendship

flies out at the winnock.

When a’ frets fail, fire's good for the fearey.

When a ewe's drown'd she's dead.

When you are serv'd a' the geese are water'd.

When ye're gawn and coming the gate's no toom.

When ye are well bad yoursell sae.

When the well‘s fou it will rin o'er.

When the steed's flown sleek the stable door.

Where the buck's bound there he maun bleet.

Where the pig's broken let the sherds ly.

Where drums beat laws are dumb.

Wie things fley cowards.

Wilfu waste makes waefu want.

Wiles help weak fowk.

Will a fool's feather in my cap gar my pot play.

Will and wit strive wi ye.

Winter thunder bodes summer hunger.

Wink at wie fauts your ain are muckle.

Wise men may be whilly‘d with wiles.

Wit bought makes fowk wise.

Wit bought is better than for nought.
