A wee bush is better than nae beild.
"Dame Elspeth is of good folk, a widow, and the mother of orphans,—she will give us house-room until something be thought upon. These evil showers make the low bush better than no beild."—The Monastery.
A wee house has a wide throat.
A wee house weel fill'd, a wee piece land weel till'd, a wee wife weel will'd, will mak a happy man.
A wee mouse will creep beneath a muckle corn stack.
A wee spark maks muckle wark.
A wee thing fleys cowards.
A wee thing puts your beard in a bleeze.
A wee thing ser's a cheerfu' mind.
A wet May and a winnie, brings a fu' stackyard and a finnie.
