He that peeks through a keyhole may see what will vex him.
He that winna be ruled by the rudder maun be ruled by the rock.
I would as soon see your nose be cheese, and the cat get the first bite of it.
If I had a dog as daft, I would shoot him.
If the Devil were dead, folk would do little for God's sake.
If the doctor cures, the sun sees it; if he kills, the earth hides it.
If ye had as little money as ye have manners, ye would be the poorest man of all your kin.
If you don't see the bottom, don't wade.
It ill becomes a carpenter to be heavy-handed, a smith to be shake-handed, or a physician to be tenderhearted.
It's a sad house where the hen crows louder than the cock.
It's an ill cause that a lawyer thinks shame of.
It's sin and not poverty that makes men miserable.
Law's costly -- take a pint and agree.
Laws catch flies, but let hornets go free.
Married folk are like rats in a trap -- fain to get others in, but fain to be out themselves.
May God bless you to live as long as you want to; and want to as long as you live!
Modesty is the beauty of women.
Monday is the key day of the week.
Money is better than my lord's letter.
Money is flat and meant to be piled up.
Never draw your dirk when a blow will do it.
