A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
A leopard it's spots can't be changed.
The second mouse always gets the cheese,
The first one just gets rearranged.
When the cats away the mice will play.
And there's plenty of fish in the sea.

That's Scottish and dates back to 1721
Many a mickle makes a muckle?
Is that Scottish, it was on an old calendar and stuck in my memory.
I believe the correct wording is 'Many a little makes a mickle'. It is Scottish and 'muckle' is merely a variant of the dialectal 'mickel' which means a large amount.
The popular version on that old calandar makes no sense. Interesting init? Well like I said, you either love 'm or hate 'em. 
A mickle is a wee pickle i.e. a small amount but a muckle is a large amount so " many a mickle mak's a muckle " means a lot of a small amount adds up to a large amount, if you follow me.
This is a fine example where we all know what the proverb means, but the actual words say something completely different.
Quote from the Concise English Dictionary:
Usage: The forms mickle and muckle are, by origin, merely variants of the same (now dialect) word meaning ‘a large amount’. However, the alternative form of the proverb (originally a misquotation) has led to a misunderstanding that mickle means ‘a small amount’.
Ah but that is the Concise English dictionary - we Scots have an entirely different way of looking at things.
