Robert Burns

books lies

“Some books are lies frae end to end,

And some great lies were never penn'd...”

― Robert Burns (1759-1796)

epitaph - honest man

“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.”

― Robert Burns (1759-1796)

Robert Burns - uncertainty - sure thing

“There is no such uncertainty as a sure thing.”

― Robert Burns (1759-1796)

Robert Burns - auld lang syne

“Should auld acquaintance be forgot

and never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

and days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,

for auld lang syne,

we'll take a cup of kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.”

― Robert Burns (1759-1796)
