Seldom rides, tynes the spurres.
He that may not do as he would, mon do as he may.
Quhen the good-man is fra hame, the board-cloth is tint.
An old seck is ay skailing.
Ill weeds waxes weil.
Cats eats that Hussies spares.
As the old Cock craws, the young Cock lears.
Sooth bourd is na bourd.
It is not the habit that makes the Monck.
Better be happy nor wise.
