A hungersome wame haes nae lugs. A hungry person can't listen to reason. A rowin stane gaithers nae fug. I sent him away with a flea in his ear. A shored tree staunds lang.
Threatened folk live long.
A smaa buss is better nor nae bield. A small bush is better than no shelter. Ae man's meat is anither man's pushion. One man's food is another man's poison. Earlie creuk the tree that guid cummock wad be.
