More quotes by Robert Burns
Not the bee upon the blossom, In the pride o' sunny noon Not the little sporting fairy, All beneath the simmer moon Not the poet, in the moment Fancy lightens in his e'e, Kens the pleasure, feels the rapture, That thy presence gi'es to me.
Robert Burns
The best laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley.
Robert Burns
My Son, these maxims make a rule An lump them ay thegither: The Rigid Righteous is a fool, The Rigid Wise anither.
Robert Burns
To see her is to love her, And love but her forever For nature made her what she is, And never made anither!
Robert Burns
Here's to us, who's like us Damn few, and they're all dead.
Robert Burns
Now Simmer blinks on flowery braes, And o'er the chrystal streamlets plays Come let us spend the lightsome days In the birks of Aberfeldy.
Robert Burns
My dear, my native soil! For whom my warmest wish to Heav'n is sent, Long may thy hardy sons of rustic toil Be blest with health, and peace, and sweet content!
Robert Burns
Why has a religious turn of mind always a tendency to narrow and harden the heart?
Robert Burns
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
But deep this truth impressed my mind — Thro' all his works abroad, The heart benevolent and kind The most resembles God.
Robert Burns
My heart 's in the Highlands, my heart is not here My heart 's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer.
Robert Burns
What's a' your jargon o' your schools, Your Latin names for horns and stools If honest nature made you fools.
Robert Burns
His locked, lettered, braw brass collar, Shewed him the gentleman and scholar.
Robert Burns
Look abroad through Nature's range, Nature's mighty law is change.
Robert Burns
Humid seal of soft affections, Tend'rest pledge of future bliss, Dearest tie of young connections, Love's first snow-drop, virgin kiss.
Robert Burns
An atheist's laugh 's a poor exchange For Deity offended!
Robert Burns
The snowdrop and primrose our woodlands adorn, and violets bathe in the wet o' the morn.
Robert Burns
Chords that vibrate sweetest pleasure Thrill the deepest notes of woe.
Robert Burns
When Nature her great masterpiece designed,And framed her last, best work, the human mind,Her eye intent on all the wondrous plan,She formed of various stuff the various Man.
Robert Burns
Misled by fancy's meteor ray, By passion driven But yet the light that led astray Was light from heaven.
Robert Burns
