Robert Burns Quotes

Hope Springs Exulting on Triumphant Wing.

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 warm'd,
Few heads with knowledge so inform'd;
If there's another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this.

Then gently scan your brother
man,
still gentler sister woman, though they may gang
a kennin wrang, to step aside is human

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

I am little acquainted with politeness, but I know a good deal of benevolence of temper and goodness of heart.

Before the morn ye'll work mischief:''
Indeed will I,'' quo' Findlay.

-Ти май си нещо наумил.
-Май нещо - каза Финдли.

Critics! Appalled I ventured on the name.
Those cutthroat bandits in the paths of fame.

The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us naught but grief an' pain
For promised joy!

Still thou art blest, compared wi' me!
The present only toucheth thee:

Even thou who mournst the daisies fate, that fate is thine.

The great Creator to revere
Must sure become the creature;
But still the preaching cant forbear,
And ev'n the rigid feature:
Yet ne'er with wits profane to range
Be complaisance extended;An atheist laugh's a poor exchange
For deity offended.

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

In proving foresight may be vain:
The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!

За старата любов -
докрай !
За миналите дни!
Ти чаша нежност ми подай
за миналите дни!

ah the power that gift would give us, to see ourselves as others see us.

What makes the hero truly great
is never, never to despair.
