It's not the likeliest person who dies first. It's past joukin whan the heid's aff. It's too late to lock the stable door after the horse has bolted. Keep something for a sair fit. Keep something for a rainy day.
Charity begins at home.
Kinnle a caunle at baith ends an it'll suin be duin. Go to bed late and rise early and you'll soon be dead. Lat the bell wather brak the snaw. Tried leaders are best in emergencies. Lig the heid o the sou til the tail o the gryce.
