Robert Burns
Learn taciturnity and let that be your motto!
Robert Burns

Robert Burns
On Earth, Discord! A gloomy Heaven above, opening her jealous gates to the nineteen thousandth part of the tithe of mankind! And below, an inescapable & inexorable Hell, expanding its leviathan jaws for the vast residue of Mortals!
Robert Burns
Beauty's of a fading nature. Has a season and is gone!
Robert Burns
Kings may be blest, but Tam was glorious, O'er a' the ills o' life victorious.
Robert Burns

How wretched is the person who hangs on by the favors of the powerful.
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
My heart is sair-I dare na tell, My heart is sair for Somebody.
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
And let us mind, faint heart ne'er wan A lady fair. Wha does the utmost that he can Will whyles do mair.
Robert Burns
Now simmer blinks on flowery braes, And o'er the crystal streamlet plays.
Robert Burns
The snowdrop and primrose our woodlands adorn, and violets bathe in the wet o' the morn.
Robert Burns
Affliction's sons are brothers in distress A brother to relieve, how exquisite the bliss!
Robert Burns
Firmness in enduring and exertion is a character I always wish to possess. I have always despised the whining yelp of complaint and cowardly resolve.
Robert Burns
The wide world is all before us - but a world without a friend.
Robert Burns
Look abroad through Nature's range, Nature's mighty law is change.
Robert Burns
