Turn about is fair play.
An inch of a miss is as good as a mile.
Giff-gaff is good fellowship.
Daylight will peep through a small hole.
Drought never bred dearth in England.
So many frosts in May will be.
Drive a cow to the ha' and she'll run to the byre.
Be bail and pay for it.
Waste not, want not.
Sudden friendship, sure repentance.
Better a wee fire to warm us than a meikle fire to burn us.
A poor man's shilling is but a penny.
March grass never did good.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
"God help the fool!" said the idiot.
Luck is all.
A wee bush is better nor nae bield.
At Rome do as Rome does.
Soft fire makes sweet malt.
God send you readier meat than running hares.
Save me from my friends!
March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.
There's nae gude in speaking ill o' the laird within his ain bounds.
The eye of the master fattens the steed.
