"Collection of Scotch Proverbs"


A man may see his friend need, but will not see him bleed.
A friend is not known but in need.
A friend in Court is worth a penny in purse.
All things are good unseyed.
A good Goose indeed, but she hes an ill gansell.
All are not maidens that wears bare hair.
A Mach and a Horshoe are both alike.
Airly crooks the Tree that good Lammock should be.
An ounce of mother-wit, is worth a pound of clergie.
An inch of a nag is worth a span of an aver.
A good word is as soon said as an ill.
A spoon full of skytter spills a pot full of skins.

B.
Better give nor take.
Better lang little, then soon right nought.
Better hand loose, nor bound to an ill baikine.
Better late thrive then never.
Buy when I bid you.
Better sit idle then work for nought.
Better learn by your neighbors skaith nor by your own.
Better half an egge, nor teem doup.
Better apple given nor eaten.
Better a Dog faun nor bark on you.
Boden gear stinks.
Bourd neither with me, nor with my Honour.
Betwixt twae stools the arse falls down.
Better bide the Cooks nor the Mediciners.
