When folk's missed then they're moaned.
When friends meet hearts warm.
When gude cheer is lacking friends go a-packing.
When he dees of age ye may quake for fear.
When I did weel I heard it never; when I did ill I heard it ever.
"A reflection of servants upon hard and passionate masters, who are liberal in their reproofs, but sparing in their commendations."—Kelly.
When ilka ane gets his ain the thief will get the widdie.
When lairds break carls get lands.
"When the tree falls every one gathers sticks."—Danish.
When love cools fauts are seen.
