Any port in a storm.
Better bend than break.
Open confession is good for the soul.
Confessed faults are half-mended.
Danger and delight grow on one stalk.
If the doctor cures, the sun sees it; if he kills, the earth hides it.
False friends are worst than bitter enemies.
Perfect love cannot be without equality.
Wink at small faults, for you have great ones yourself.
Forsake not God till you find a better master.
Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.
A thread will tie an honest man better than a chain a rogue.
One may survive distress, but not disgrace.
Were it not for hope the heart would break.
May God bless you to live as long as you want to; and want to as long as you live!
It's a sad house where the hen crows louder than the cock.
Never marry for money. Ye'll borrow it cheaper.
Money is flat and meant to be piled up.
He that winna be ruled by the rudder maun be ruled by the rock.
Prayer and practice is good rhyme.
Twelve highlanders and a bagpipe make a rebellion.
It's sin and not poverty that makes men miserable.
Where vice is vengeance follows.
Plenty makes dainty!
While a person gets they can never lose.
We'll never know the worth of water till the well go dry.
