A word before is worth two behinde.
An ill win penny will cast down a pound.
An old seck is ay skailing.
A fair fire makes a room flet.
An old Knave is na bairn.
A good yeoman makes a good woman.
A man hath no more good then he hath good of.
A fool may give a wise man a counsell.
A man may speir the gate to Rome.
As long fives the merry-man, as the wretch for all the craft he can.
