More quotes by Robert Burns
The heart that is generous and kind most resembles God.

Hope springs exulting on triumphant wing.
Robert Burns
See Social-life and Glee sit down, All joyous and unthinking, Till, quite transmugrified, they're grown Debauchery and Drinking

I have a hundred times wished that one could resign life as an officer resigns a commission.
Robert Burns
Who made the heart, 'tis He alone Decidedly can try us

That hour o' night's black arch the keystane.
