Quotes by Robert Burns

Let them cant about decorum, Who have characters to lose!

The snowdrop and primrose our woodlands adorn, and violets bathe in the wet o' the morn.

Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn!

And there begins a lang digression about the lords o' the creation.

The wide world is all before us - but a world without a friend.

Affliction's sons are brothers in distress; A brother to relieve, how exquisite the bliss!

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.

Dare to be honest and fear no labor.

Suspense is worse than disappointment.

I pick my favourite quotations and store them in my mind as ready armour, offensive or defensive, amid the struggle of this turbulent existence.
