Poetry Quote by Robert Burns — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Some hae meat and canna eat,”

“But deep this truth impress'd my mind:”

“Wee, sleekit, cowrin, tim'rous beastie,”

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

“My love is like a red, red rose”

“I sense the world might be more dreamlike, metaphorical, and poetic than we currently believe--but just as irrational as sympathetic magic when looked at in a typically scientific way.

The world isn't logical, it's a song.”

“Who could have foretold”

“The Garden”

“What if you slept”

“The Apache don't have a word for love," he said.”

“Happy the man, and happy he alone,”
