“O, wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as others see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion.”
― Robert Burns, The Complete Poetical Works of Robert Burns

“There is no such uncertainty as a sure thing.”
― Robert Burns, Collected Poems of Robert Burns

“Ye Hypocrites, are these your pranks
To murder men and gie God thanks
Desist for shame, proceed no further
God won't accept your thanks for murder.”
― Robert Burns

“Some books are lies frae end to end,
And some great lies were never penn'd...”
― Robert Burns
