Nae cows, nae care
Nae man can tether tide or time
Nature impartial in her ends
When she made men the stronger
In justice then to make amends
Made women's tongues the longer
Neer cast a cloot till May be oot
Ne'er seek a wife till you ken
What to do wi her
Never let your chances
Like the sunbeams pass you by
Never prove false to a friend
Never put off for tomorrow a Laugh you can laugh today
Never put off till tomorrow
What can be done today
Never quit certainty for hope
Never say die, up man and try
Never weary in welldoing

Night brings out stars as sorrow shows us truths
Nimble thoughts can jump both sea & land
Niver zay die, up man and try
No life can be dreary when works a delight
Noo is the day and noo is the hour
No path of flowers leads to glory
No path of roses leads to glory
No place delights the tourist race Like Oban in the Highlands
For Oban is a dainty place in distant or in high lands
No place on earth so pleases me,
As dear old Torquay by the sea
No place on earth zo plazes me as this wan by the way
No road is long with good company
No star is ever lost we once have seen
We always may be what we might have been
No tongue can tell, no heart can think
What joy it is to have a drink
None are so good as they should be
None so nice as Sally
none but the brave deserve the fair
None of your Blarney

Speak when not spoken to
Howl when youre chid
Shut the door after you
Good little kieak when you are spoken to
Come when I call
Close the door after you
That will be all
Spill salt spill sorrow
Spit on your roof and hand fast
Stay still in the hand of the potter,
Lie low neath his wonderful touch,
He shapeth and mouldeth in mercy,
The clay that he loveth so much,
Surrender thyself to his working,
The curve and the hollow he wills,
Nor shrink from the pain and the pressure,
For the vessel he fashions he fills
Still waters run deep
Stracht frae the coo
Stracht frae the hen
Straight from the nest
Straight is the line of duty,
Curved is the line of beauty,
Follow the one and you will see,
The other ever following thee
Strength for today is all that we need,
For there will never be a tomorrow,
Tomorrow is but another today,
With its own measure of joy and sorrow
Strike me and I`ll light
Strive to learn from all things
Striving to better oft we mar what's well ( Shakespear)
Success comes not by wishing,
But by hard work bravely done
Such glens and rocks as all agree is nowhere else but Chudleigh
Sunshine makes shadows
Sweep before your own door first
Sweet as honey
Sweeten to your liking
Sympathy without relief is like mustard without beef
