Additional quotes by Robert Burns

A gaudy dress and gentle air May slightly touch the heart; But it's innocence and modesty That polishes the dart.

O life! thou art a galling load, Along a rough, a weary road, To wretches such as I!

Dear Sir, I'll gie ye some advice,
You'll tak it no uncivil:
You shouldna paint at angels, man,
But try and paint the Devil.

To paint an angel's kittle wark,
Wi' Nick there's little danger;
You'll easy draw a lang-kent face,
But no sae weel a stranger.

Then gently scan your brother man, Still gentler sister woman; Tho' they may gang a kennin wrang, To step aside is human. - Robert Burns
