Selected quotes by Robert Burns
Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie, O, what a panic's in thy breastie!
Man's inhumanity to man Makes countless thousands mourn!
O my luve's like a red, red rose, That's newly sprung in June: O my luve's like the melodie That's sweetly play'd in tune.
The best laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft a-gley, An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain For promis'd joy.
But pleasures are like poppies spread, You seize the flow'r, its bloom is shed.
O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us To see oursels as others see us!
