Many shun the sword and come to the gallows, [161]

Many stop their noses at ambergris, [71]

Many take by the bushel and give with the spoon, [161]

Many trades, begging the best, [173]

Many words don’t fill the sack (Scoticé: Meikle crack fills nae sack), [340]

Many words go to a sackful (Many words will not fill a bushel), [302]

Marriage is heaven and hell, [140]

Marriages are not as they are made, but as they turn out, [104]

Marriages are written in heaven, [35]

Married to-day, marred to-morrow, [6]
