More quotes by Robert Burns
For gold the merchant ploughs the main, The farmer ploughs the manor.
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
Life is but a day at most.
Robert Burns
Suspense is worst than disappointment.
Robert Burns
Some hae meat and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it, But we hae meat and we can eat, And sae the Lord be thankit.
Robert Burns

Robert Burns
The great Creator to revere Must sure become the creature But still the preaching cant forbear, And ev'n the rigid feature: Yet ne'er with wits profane to range Be complaisance extendedAn atheist laugh's a poor exchange For deity offended.
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
Mankind is an unco squad And muckle he may grieve thee.
Robert Burns
The wisest man the warl' e'er saw, He dearly loved the lasses, O.
Robert Burns
O Life! thou art a galling load, Along a rough, a weary road, To wretches such as I!
Robert Burns
Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led, Welcome to your gory bed, Or to victory! Now 's the day and now 's the hour See the front o' battle lour.
Robert Burns
Mankind is a science that defies definitions.
Robert Burns
Such is the fate of simple Bard, On life's rough ocean luckless starr'd
