Image
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.

Now's the day and now's the hour.
Robert Burns
Image
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
Image

Robert Burns

Robert Burns

Robert Burns
Image
Nature's law, That man was made to mourn. Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn! O Death, the poor man's dearest friend, The kindest and the best!
Robert Burns
Image
The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men, Gang aft a-gley, And leave us nought but grief and pain, For promised joy.
Robert Burns
Image
Ye Hypocrites, are these your pranks To murder men and gie God thanks Desist for shame, proceed no further God won't accept your thanks for murder.

Dare to be honest and fear no labor.

His locked, lettered, braw brass collar, Shewed him the gentleman and scholar.

Kings may be blest, but Tam was glorious, O'er a' the ills o' life victorious.
