Proverbs

Many a slip 'twixt cup and lip

To be pedantic it is "All that glisters is not gold." ?
Only know because the Senior Mistress at school marked me down for writing ' glitters'

Ca' canny. Another of my mother's sayings. Proceed with caution

If you sup with the devil, use a long spoon.

All that glitters, is not gold.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Half a loaf is better than none.
Out of the frying pan into the fire.
Pot calling the kettle black.

“Gottes Müllen machen langsam aber sicher.”

“The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceeding small.
Though with patience he stands waiting, with exactness grinds he all.”

Save your breathe to cool your porridge.

An ounce of praise is worth a ton of criticism.

Don't trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.

Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves.

Look before you leap
Turn the other cheek (tricky one)

Too many cooks spoil the broth
OR
Many hands make light work

When in doubt, say nowt (from my Dad.)
A bit like Buffybee's first one.

Don't get mad, get even

Wine's in, wits out.

"A stitch in time, saves nine."

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater

Oh Annie

I will stick to mine MawBroon as did my mother, grandmother and great grandmother

Fine words butter no parsnips.

With apologies to Annie and Marydoll’s Mum
“Do unto others before they do it unto you”

Annie, that was my mother's favourite saying!

"There's nowt so queer as folk"

Do to others as you would have them do to you.
