Additional quotes by Robert Burns

Even thou who mournst the daisy's fate, that fate is thine.

As Tammie glow'red, amazed, and curious, The mirth and fun grew fast and furious.

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.
