    No road is long with good company
    First catch your hare then cook it
    A swam of bees in May is worth a load of hay.

    As good to be out of the world as to be out of the style.
    A rich hawthorn a braw winter.
    A pigs ear can never make mutton.
    One sack one sample.
    Wide will wear but tight will tear.
    Too far east is west
    When the weather is fair, of your cloak take care
    Throw not good money after bad.
    The wheel that's weak is apt to creak.
    No pains no gains
