Much would have more.
Much ado about nothing.
Never trust much to a new friend or an old enemy.
Silence grips the mouse.
There's no getting white flour out of a coal-sack.
The first blow is half the battle.
Comparisons are odious.
As good be hanged for a sheep as a lamb.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Too far east is west.
The tod [fox] ne'er sped better than when he went his ain errand.
Kissing goes by favour.
Long absent, soon forgotten.
When things come to the worst they'll mend.
Self-praise stinks.
There is more than one yew bow in Chester.
Bare walls make giddy housewives.
Pick and choose, and take the worst.
A fool may put something in a wise man's head.
Practice makes perfect.
Make hay while the sun shines
One leg of a lark is worth the whole body of a kite.
Raise nae mair deils than ye can lay.
Steal the goose, and give the giblets in alms.
