Winter's thunder and summer's flood
He that will not be counselled cannot be helped.
Like a singed cat, better than likely.
Though he be clad in silk and scarlet.
Afttimes the cautioner pays the debt.
Saying gangs cheap.
When a fool has spoken he has done all.
Too much courtesy, too much craft.
Happy is the son whose father went to the devil.
A bad workman always complains of his tools.
A penny saved is a penny got.
They're no a' saints that get holy water.
Better a wren in the hand than a crane in the air.
Come na to the council unca'd.
A man may love his house weel, and no ride on the riggen o't.
Where the will is ready the feet are light.
A bad excuse is better than none.
Play's gude while it is play.
Eagles catch no flies.
Blaw the wind ne'er sae fast, it will lown at the last.
Many ways to kill a dog besides hanging him.
He that wad eat the kernel maun crack the nut.
It is easy to find a stick to beat a dog
Appearances are deceitful.
