What's a' your jargon o' your schools, Your Latin names for horns and stools If honest nature made you fools.
Robert Burns

The upright, honest-hearted man Who strives to do the best he can, Need never fear the church's ban Or hell's damnation.
Robert Burns
Image
An honest man here lies at rest, the friend of man the friend of truth the friend of age and guide of youth. Few hearts like his with virtue warmed, few heads with knowledge so informed. If there's another world, he lives in bliss. If there is none, he made the best of this.
Robert Burns

Some rhyme a neebor's name to lash Some rhyme (vain thought!) for needfu' cash Some rhyme to court the countra clash, An' raise a din For me, an aim I never fash I rhyme for fun.
Robert Burns

Nature's law, That man was made to mourn. Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn! O Death, the poor man's dearest friend, The kindest and the best!
Robert Burns
Image
Auld Nature swears the lovely dears Her noblest work she classes, O Her 'prentice han' she tried on man, And then she made the lasses, O!
Robert Burns
Image
The voice of Nature loudly cries,And many a message from the skies,That something in us never dies.
