Go to mottoes beginning with B or C
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
A bird in the hand is worth ten fleeing
A blithe heart makes a blooming visage
A car on the road is worth two in the ditch
A cheerful chap may live long and still die young
A choice plant may grow in a cracked pot
A contented mind is a continual feast
A cracks maun be trew,d
A creaking gate hangs a long time
A crookit stick has a crookit shadow
A dowg winna howl
If ye fell him wi a bone
A drop of good stuff
And a snug social party
To spend a dull evening
Gay social and hearty
A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind,
But I wonder if the Poet would change his mind,
If in a crowd one day he were to find,
A fellow feeling in his coat behind.
A fool or so from any quarter,
May lead a horse or so to water,
But 20 men can`t make him drink
A full purse never lacks friends
A gentle reminder
A good cause makes a strong arm
A good heart's worth gold (Shakespeare)
A good home is better than riches
A good laugh is sunshine in the house
A good name is better than riches
A good name keeps its lustre in the dark
A greedy e'e ne'er got a guid pennyworth
A guid tale can be twice tauld
A hair on the head is worth two on the brush
A Hair on the head is worth two on the chin
A hedge between friends keeps friendship green
A hungry man`s an angry man
A kindness is never lost
A kindness today is worth six in the future
A little explained, a little endured,
A little forgiven and the quarrel is cured
A magpie can talk for a terrible span
An soa, an all, can a Yorkshireman
A man may travel thro' the world
And sow it thick with friendship
A man made up in himself makes a small parcel
A man that can`t make a mistake can`t make anything
A many a word at random spoken,
Can wound or heal a heart that`s broken
A match for any man
A merry heart goes a long way
A merry heart goes all the day
A millstone and the human heart are driven ever round,
if they have nothing else to grind they must themselves be ground
A necessity of life ( on a salt pot )
A passage perilous maketh a port pleasant
A pipe lets take,
For old times sake
A place fort Ashes
A place for Hat pins
A place for everything and everything in it`s place
A place for Pins
A pound of pluck is worth a load of luck
A present from Torquay, Straight from the Cow
A reekie house and a guirnin wife,
Will lead a man a fashious life
A rich mans companion
A poor mans friend (Tobacco Jar)
A rolling stone gathers no moss
A safe conscience makes a sound sleep
A saucepan though I be
The fires not meant for me
And as I'm no use as I am
Come fill me up with jam
A smile for every day
Makes sunshine all the year
A son is a son 'til he takes him a wife
But a daughter's a daughter all of her life
A still tongue makes a wise head
A stitch in time saves nine
A thing has an end and a pudding has twa
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
A turn well done is soon done
A winner never shirks and a shirker never wins
A wet sheet, a flowing sail,
And a mind that`s blowing free
A womans face may be a chemist`s fortune
A Woman is only a Woman
But a good Cigar is a smoke
A word frae ye`s neist tae a word wi`ye
Actions speak louder than words
Tis deeds alone will win the prize
Adventures are to the Adventurous
All that glitters is not gold
All that's mirthful glad and gay
Make for you a happy Xmas day
All the best poets visited The Lake District.
So did I, In Coronation Year. 1937
All things must yield to Industry and Time,
None cease to rise but those who cease to climb
Always help a lame dog over a stile
Any time means no time
April showers Bring forth flowers
As a tree falls so shall it lie,
As a man lives so shall he die
aisy on the jam
As I was going to St Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits,
Kits, cats sacks and wives,
How many were going to St Ives ?
As Pan bro't music form his vocal reed
Let us seek concord in the fragrant weed
as wee'l sune as syne
At a great pennyworth pause a while
At all times and everywhere he gave his strength
to the weak his substance to the poor his sympathy
to the suffering his heart to God
Ave another go if ee don't do it furst time
Awen dysg Goell awen?
Go to mottoes A or C
Barking dogs do not bite
Bathes Original Devonshire Violets
Be a little deaf and blind
Happiness you`ll always find
Be aizy wit tha butter
Be aisy with the craim
Be aisy with the jam
Be aisy with tha junket
Be aisy with tha sugar
Be always as merry as you can,
For few will delight in a sorrowful man
Be canny with the butter it's not so cheap
Be canny with the cream
Be canny with the honey
Be canny with the salt
Be canny with the sugar
Be careful with fire
Is good advice we know
But be careful with words
Is ten times doubly so
Be easy with the cheese. Eat well of the bread
Be happy while your living,
For you`re a long time dead
Be just and fear not
Heaven helps those who help themselves
Be kynde always to those of low estate
And try ye man of Ross to imitate
Be like a sundial, count only the sunny hours
Be mine this message glad to bear
Be yours the season's joys to share
Let the world slide, Let the world go
A fig for care and a fig for woe
Be not weary in well doing
Be slow to promise
But quick to perform
Be strong, Be good, Be pure,
The right only shall endure
Be sure you have the water hot
When you use this shaving pot
Be the day weary or be the day long,
At last it ringeth to evensong
Be to others kind and true. As you'd have others be to you
Be your own most useful friend
Cease on others to depend
Bearded or shaven,
Wit comes from heaven
Believe not all you hear
And tell not all you believe
Beneath the sunlit sky
Dewy shamrocks sparkling lie
Strewn along the pathway bright
Gladdened by created light
Better be out of the world than out of fashion
Better be thrang ner dewin nowt
Better do one thing
Than dream all things
Better to have bad luck than no luck
Better to sit still than to rise to fall
Better to smoke here than hereafter
Better wait on the cook than the doctor
Better wear shoon than sheets
Better work wisely than work hard
Blessed are the drowsy
For they shall soon drop off
Blot out my faults
But not my memory
Blot out my past
But not my memory
Bon Jour !
Bread - Cut and come again
Break me not or you'll rue your loss?
I come from the House of the Man of Ross
Brevity is the soul of wit (Shakespeare)
Britannia mourns her heroes now at rest,
Each of them doing their Country`s work ( Boer war )
Bryght be the stars on the eve of St.John
Luckie the babe that is born there-on
Bustle is not industry
Busy curious thristy fly. Drink with me and drink as I
Buttercups and daisies
Fairest of field flowers
Coming in the springtime
To deck the earth of ours
Bwythyn Cymreig
By and by is the path that leads to never
By my shape you can see I`m a dustpan,
Don`t use me for such if you please,
Butter pehaps maybe more in my line,
And I`m sure I`m quite suited for cheese
By timely resistance
The greatest evils may be overcome
Go to mottoes A or B
Careful with fire is good advice we know
Careful with words is doubly so
Ca`yer ain girr ne`er heed yer neebors
Chosen leaf,
of Bard and chief,
Old Erin`s native shamrock
Cider doth stir up the mind
And awakes a desire to eat
Come an' zee us in the zummer
Come fill me full with liquors sweet,
For that is good when friends do meet,
But pray take care don`t let me fall,
Lest you lose your liquor, jug and all
Come fill the cup that clears
Today of past regrets and future fears
Come my old friends and take a pot,
But mark now what I say,
When thou drinkest thy neighbour`s health,
Drink not thine own away 1822 or 1778
Come what come may
Time and the hour runs through the roughest day
Comfort is better than pride
Conduct hath the loudest tongue
contented wi little an cantie wi mair
Contentment is a constant feast
Contrivance is better than force
Cornish pasty puzzle
Find the meat
Crochan Cymreig
Cymru am Byth
Cultivate only good habits
Cum me artiez 'elp yerzels
