Robert Burns
And like a passing thought, she fled In light away.
Robert Burns
Here's to us, who's like us Damn few, and they're all dead.
Robert Burns
Nae man can tether time or tide The hour approachesTam maun ride That hour, o'night's black arch the key-stane, That dreary hourTam mounts his beast in.
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
My Son, these maxims make a rule An lump them ay thegither: The Rigid Righteous is a fool, The Rigid Wise anither.
Robert Burns
When matters are desperate we must put on a desperate face.
Robert Burns
Affliction's sons are brothers in distress A brother to relieve, how exquisite the bliss!
Robert Burns
