The most master wears no breech

The mother of mischief is no bigger than a midge’s wing

The mother-in-law remembers not that she was a daughter-in-law

The mother’s breath is aye sweet

The mother’s side is the surest

The mountain has brought forth a mouse

The mountain labored and brought forth a mouse

The mouse that has one hole is quickly taken

The mouth of fools pours out foolishness

The nearer the bone, the sweeter the flesh

The nearer the church, the farther from God

The next day is never so good as the day before

The night will give you counsel

The offspring of those that are very old, or very young, lasts not

The old cow thinks she was never a calf

The older the better

The older, the more covetous

The one who pays the piper calls the tune

The onlookers see more than players

The owl thinks her own young fairest

The ox when weariest treads surest

The parson always christens his own child first

The pen is mightier than the sword

The pig dreams of acorns, the goose of maiz

The pitcher goes often to the well but is broken at last

The pleasure of what we enjoy, is lost by coveting more

The pleasures of the mighty are the tears of the poor

The poor man has little to lose

The poor man pays for all

The poor man’s shilling is but a penny

The poor man’s wisdom is as useless as a palace in a wilderness

The poor needs much, the miser desires everything

The poor suffer all the wrong

The pot calls the kettle black

The pot goes once too often to the well
