Six hours’ sleep for a man seven for a woman and eight for a fool
Nine tailors make a man
In a calm sea every man is a pilot
If the mountain will not come to mahomet mahomet must go to the mountain
He that commits a fault thinks everyone speaks of it
Knowledge is power
Have but few friends though many acquaintances
One story is good till another is told
He will never have a good thing cheap that is afraid to ask the price
He that eats till he is sick must fast till he is well
A good man can no more harm than a sheep
Calamity is the touchstone of a brave mind
It is best to be off with the old love before you are on with the new
Truth lies at the bottom of a well
Art is long life is short
An empty purse fills the face with wrinkles
A candle lights others and consumes itself
He travels the fastest who travels alone
Hear all see all say nowt tak’ all keep all gie nowt and if tha ever does owt for nowt do it for thysen
There is no darkness like ignorance
I would like to fly but i have no wings
Love makes the world go round
Proverbs are the adornment of speech
Do unto others as you would they should do unto you
There is safety in numbers
He is not a wise man who cannot play the fool on occasion
An empty sack cannot stand upright
The greatest talkers are the least doers
Forewarned is forearmed
