Better your feet slip than your tongue.
Between Martinmas and Yule, water's wine in every pool.
Between the deil and the deep sea.
Between two extremes equally dangerous.
"I fell into Claverhouse's party when I was seeking for some o' our ain folk to help ye out o' the hands o' the whigs; sae, being atween the deil and the deep sea, I e'en thought it best to bring him on wi' me, for he'll be wearied wi' felling folk the night, and the morn's a new day."—Old Mortality.
Between three and thirteen, thraw the woodie when it's green.
Train the minds and principles of children when young.
Between you and the lang day be'it.
Be what ye seem and seem what ye are.
Bid a man to a roast and stick him wi' the spit.
