Aw cracks maunna be trewed

Don’t believe everything you hear

It's past jookin whan the heid's aff

It's too late to lock the stable when the horse has bolted …
Ilka land haes its ain leid

Every country has its own language and story
A bairn maun creep afore it gangs

Practice makes perfect
Lea walcome aye ahin ye

Don’t outstay your welcome
The'r aye watter whaur the stirkie drouns

There is no smoke without fire
Aw cracks maunna be trewed

Don’t believe everything you hear
Efter lang mint never dint

You promise much but do nothing.
He that blaws stoor fills his ain een

If you cause trouble don’t expect to escape it yourself. …
Facts is cheils that winna ding

Facts cannot be denied.
He's haed fruit aff yer barra afore

Once bitten, twice shy
