More quotes by Robert Burns
And O! be sure to fear the Lord alway, And mind your duty, duly, morn and night Lest in temptation's path ye gang astray, Implore His counsel and assisting might: They never sought in vain that sought the Lord aright.
Robert Burns
While Europe's eye is fix'd on mighty things, The fate of empires and the fall of kings While quacks of State must each produce his plan, And even children lisp the Rights of Man Amid this mighty fuss just let me mention, The Rights of Woman merit some attention.
Robert Burns
But to see her was to love her, Love but her, and love forever. Had we never lou'd sae kindly, Had we never lou'd sae blindly, Never met - or never parted - We had ne'er been broken hearted
Robert Burns
Now's the day and now's the hour.
Robert Burns
Never generally means at no point in time. The term comes from the words 'no' and 'ever', meaning that something is not ever going to happen. Sourced
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
That hour o' night's black arch the keystane.
Robert Burns
I look on the opposite sex with something like the admiration with which I regard the starry sky on a frosty December night. I admire the beauty of the Creator's workmanship, I am charmed with the wild but graceful eccentricity of the motions, and then I wish both of them goodnight.
Robert Burns
I'm truly sorry man's dominion has broken Nature's social union.
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
Suspense is worse than disappointment.
Robert Burns
Once upon a Lammas Night When corn rigs are bonny, Beneath the Moon's unclouded light, I held awhile to Annie... The time went by with careless heed Between the late and early, With small persuasion she agreed To see me through the barley... Corn rigs and barley rigs, Corn rigs are bonny! I'll not forget that happy night Among the rigs with Annie!
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
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
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
To make three guineas do the work of five.
Robert Burns
There's some are fou o' love divine There's some are fou o' brandy.
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
Who made the heart, 'tis He alone Decidedly can try us
Robert Burns
The golden hours on angel wings Flew o'er me and my dearie, For dear to me as light and life Was my sweet Highland Mary.
