Tain't what we do
But how we do it
That makes this life
Worth goin' through it
Tak a cup o' tea its unco' refreshin
Tak yer wull o`t
Take another cup full
Take a cup of tea
Take a cup of tea it's very refreshing
Tak an ave a drink out o' me
Tak zum craim
Take a cup it's good
Take a little butter
Take a little cream
Take a little drink
Take a little jam
Take a little junket
Take a little milk
Take a little mustard
Take a little pepper
Take a little sugar
Take a little toast
Take a wee drappie
Take fortune as you find her
And if she frowns don't you?
For a smile will oft recall her
And make her kind & true
Take thy calling thankfully,
Love thy neighbour neighbourly,
Shun the path to beggary
Take um as they cum
Talk little hear much learn more
Tea seldom spoils when water boils
Teddy Bears Picnic
Tell no tales out of school
Temps pommele, fille fardee,
Ne sont pas de longue duree,
Time dappled cloudy weather,
Painted girl, They are not of long duration
Thank goodness for a full plate
The beaten path is the safe path
The best physic is fresh air,
The best pills is plain fare
The course of true love
Never did run smooth
The cup that cheers but not inebriates
The day is now here
Tomorrow is nowhere
The de`ils aye kin` tae his ain
The dear little sweet little
Shamrock of Ireland
The early bird catches the worm
The evil that men do lives after them
The Fayrest mayd that did bear life
For love of man became a wife
The flowers that follow the sun
Does so even on cloudy days
The friends thou hast, and their adoption tired,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel
The greatest troubles of this life
Are those that never happen
The green little shamrock from Armagh
The hen that sits on a China egg
Is better off
The island in summer is slack as can be,
Sometimes it`s worse than the far contree,
But once in the season - the strain on poor Ted,
Is terrific! It`s hell! He can`t go to bed
The journey`s long from A to Z,
And puzzles many a curly head,
But leads to books Red, Green or Blue,
Which brings the fairy land in view
The kiss of the sun for pardon
The song of the birds for mirth
One is nearer God's heart in a garden
Than anywhere else In Heaven
The lucky have their days and those they choose,
The unlucky have their hours and those they loose
The last in bed puts out the light
The less wit a man has
The less he kens the want o't
The lower the tide
The nearer the Town
The man who "knows it all" is
Standing on a Banana Peel
Placed there by Fool-killer?
Who is waiting just round the corner
The man that cant
make a mistake
Cant make anything
The Midnight Warbler
The mill will never gring with the water that is past
The more I see of some men the more I like my dog
The night is long that never finds a day
"The Old Grandfather`s Clock,
Here my master bids me stand,
To mark the hours with faithful hand,
To do his will is my delight,
To serve him well by day and night,
Master be wise and learn of me,
To serve thy God as I serve thee
The pen is mightier than the sword
The proof o' the puddins in the preein o't
The red kine bathing in the stream,
Just below the clammer,
The music of the bird and bee,
The scythe and blacksmith`s hammer,
Dear old Devon
The Ross Riddle
Why did the Horseshoe Bend?
Because he saw John Kyrle
The sweet little Shamrock
The taste of the kitchen
Is better than the smell
The tempest that disturbs the water,
Reveals the rock
The top of the knee is a lofty position
And ought to be viewed at a point of ambition
And whatever the calling of man may be
He should try at attaining the top of the knee
The value of tobacco is best understood,
When it is the last you puff,
And there is no chance of getting more
The weakest go to the wall
The world goeth round
All passeth away
So fret not thy self
For the ills of the day
The world is full of rubs (Shakespeare)
The world is full of willing people
some willing to work, and the rest willing to let them
The world has battle - room for all,
Go fight and conquer if you can,
But if you rise, or if you fall,
Be each, pray God, a gentleman
The world is full of willing people
Some willing to work & the rest willing to tell them
The truth thats told with ill intent
Beats half the lies you can invent
The world laughs with flowers
The world looks brighter
From behind a smile
The worth of a thing
Is best known by the want of it
Them that winna work maun want
There be more in the larder
There`s a divinity that shapes our ends,
Rough - hew Them how we will
There`s a saying old and musty,
Yet it is ever true,
Never trouble trouble,
Till trouble troubles you
There would be no shadow,
If the sun were not shining
There's a dear little plant
That grows in our isle
Fresh & fair as the
Daughters of Erin
There`s a time for all things
There`s as guid fish in the sea,
As ever cam oot o`it
There`s gladness in rememberance
There's life alone in duty done
And rest alone in striving
There`s mair in the kitchen,
Parritch maks the man
There`s no fun like work
There's no rose without a thorn
There is no wealth but life
There`s no time like now
There`s no wealth but life
There's worse things than porridge
They also serve who only stand and wait
They can who think they can,
Adventures are to the adventurous
They say that drink leads to the Devil,
But a thought has just entered my head,
If a man can`t drink when he`s living,
How in hell can he drink when he`s dead
They speak o' my drinking
But they dinna consider my drouth
They that drink longest
Live longest
They that hide know where to seek
Things come about very strangely
Think of ease but work on
Think of me of't in the hour of leisure
Think of me of't in the hour of pleasure
If 'ere forgot in the hour of care
Forget me not in the hour of prayer
Think not of tomorrow`s child of the king,
Leave them in His hand, do the next best thing
Think what is good,
Drink what is pure,
Speak what is true
This is a world to live in,
To buy, spend, or give in,
But to beg, borrow, or get a man`s own,
Such a world was never known
This is the cock that crows in the moon
This jug was made at Longpark,
In Torquay by the sea,
May health and happiness be theirs,
Whoever drinks from thee
This small jug in friendship take and keep it for the givers sake
This yarns waur thans lite
This yer jug was made in Tarkay
But yu cant drink out aun
This yer tay is gude
Those who bring sunshine
To the lives of others
Cannot keep it from themselves
Though the mills of God grind slowly
Yet they gring exceeding small
Though with patience He stands awaiting
With exactness He grinds all
Three microbes went sailing out
The stream o'er the meadows that flows
The microbes must work
And women will scream
At the tho't of those terrible foes
Thrift and Wealth are near neighbours
Throw overboard useless regretting
For deeds that you cannot undo
And learn the great art of forgetting
Old things that embitter the new
Thur now, du`ee you`en?
Daunt like craim,
Way, yu niver had noan
Thus pob peth bychan
Time and tide for no man bide
Time and tide wait for no man
Time repairs all things
Time ripens all things
Tis a good oss' that don't stumble
Tis deeds alone must win the prize
Tis said that "manners maketh man"
Then he who well would live his part
Must early labour all he can
In diligence to keep his heart
Tis very refreshin
To a friends house
The road is never long
To all friends be one
Tobacco - Help yourself
Tobacco hie, Tobacco hie, if you are well
Twill may you sick
Tobacco hie, Tobacco hie, Twill make you well
If you are sick
Tobacco you are welcome
To be or not to be, that is the question (Shakespeare)
To be polite is to do & say
The kindest things in the kindest way
To Day is the Tomorrow
You worried about Yesterday
Yet all is well
Tomorrow is but another Today
With it's measure of joy and of sorrow
To drink and not to spill Will try the utmost of your skill
To have a friend is to be one
Too many cooks spoil the broth
Too much sit down break trousers
To night my light you borrow The sun will shine tomorrow
Toom stalls mak'
Biting horses
To say well is good
To do well is better
To teach his grandson draughts,
His leisure he`d employ,
Untill at last the old man,
Was beaten by the boy
To thine own self be true
To win a smile from fortune
Wink at trouble
Truth like cork never sinks
Turn things over till you come to the bright side
Twas one of the ways of good Queen Bess
Who ruled as never Monarch did Sirs
When she was slogged & the country in a mess
She sent for a Devon man Sirs
Two men look through the same bars,
One sees the mud, the other the stars
Go to mottoes T or V or W or Y or Z
Uneasy lies the head that tells a good many of them
Up to the lips and over the gums,
Look out tummy here it comes

Vessels large may venture more,
Little boats must keep the shore
Victory to our arms
Vrum Devon

Wa'al us be main glad to zee'e
Walk life`s dark path, they seem to say,
With love`s divine fore-knowing,
That’s where man sees but withered flowers,
God sees the sweet flowers growing
Waste not want not
Water is good outside and in,
To quench the thirst and cleanse the skin
We eat to live
Not live to eat
We aye prood tae hear frae ye
We'el take a cup of kindness yet
We'el take a cup of kindness For Auld Lang Syne
We may wake with the song of the song birds
Or snore with the note of the owl
But this mug of tay or ale some would say
Will soothe at the dawn or the end of the day
We must be kind but not in words alone
We must take the current as it serves,
Or loose our venture
We shall never get giddy by doing good turns
Welcome is the best cheer
We`re not the only pebbles on the beach
We thank thee Lord vur this gude bankit,
Which us a had tugether,
An` give us grace tu work apace,
That us may aim another
We therefore have great cause of thankfulness

What man has done, Man can do
Whatever you are, be that,
Whatever you say, be true,
Straightforwardly act,
Be honest in fact,
Be nobody else but you
When all goes right and nothing wrong
Oh don't the day seem limp and long
When down in the mouth
Think of Jonah
He came out alright
When friends meet hearts warm
When in the pink, Write with this ink
When the great scorer comes,
To write against your name,
He writes not if you won or lost,
But how you played the game
When the old dog barks
He gives counsel
When this you see remember me
And keep me in your mind
Let all the world say what they will
Speak of me as you find
When trouble comes as come it will
Don't make a welcome guest of it
But kick the varmint down the hill
And try and make the best of it
When work is done, the pipe don`t shun
When you sit by the fire to keep yourselves warm
Take heed lest lest your tongue do your neighbours harm
When you want to kill time Work it to death
When your head feels queer,
And your breath smells strong,
And you laugh like hell at any old song,
You`re drunk old man, you`re drunk
When you're up to the neck in hot water, think of the Kettle and sing
When you`ve finished pouring tea,
Place the teapot down on me
When youve got the Pip
Dont Squeak
When God guide his sails and course,
The winds were at command,
And Totnes was the happy shore,
When first he came on land
When the day breaks, make the most of the pieces
When you use this shaving pot Be sure and have the water hot
Wher'er they pass A triple grass
Shoots up with dewdrops streaming
Where are you going my pretty maid
To lecture at Yale Sir she said
On what do you lecture pray said he
On the extinction of mankind Sir said she
Where friends
There riches
Whichever way the wind doth blow
Someone is glad to have it so
Who burnt the table cloth
Wilful waste makes woeful want
Will 'ee ‘elp yerzel m’dear
"Wind and dust"
The devil sends the naughty winds,
To blow the girl`s skirts high,
But God is just to send the dust,
To blind the bad man`s eye
Wishee well an wishee honest
Wishes never filled the bag
Within this jug there is good liquor,
Fit for parson or for vicar,
But how to drink and not to spill,
Will try the utmost of your skill
Without economy none can be rich
Whichever way the wind doth blow,
Someone is glad to have it so
Who burnt the table cloth
Wishes never filled the bag
Wishes well and wishes honest
Wishing well water - Labrador Bay
Wishing well water - Upwey Wishing Well
Woman may not love him
Men may not adore him
But he that wheels the barrow
Carries all before him

Words are easy like the wind
Work on. Hope on.
Self help is noble schooling
You do your best and leave the rest
To God Almighty's ruling
Work while you play,
Play while you play,
That is the way to be cheerful and gay
Worry is like a rocking horse
Keeps on going & gets nowhere
Would you live an angel`s days,
Be honest, just, and wise always
Write injuries in dust
Kindness in marble

Yesterday is dead
Forget it
Tomorrow does not exist
Don't worry
Today is here- Use it
You may get better cheer,
But none with better heart
You'll never miss the water
Till the well runs dry
You wont drink this liquor all,
Without you spill or let some fall
Your very welcome
