Hanging is too good for him said Mr. Cruelty.
Thou art beaten that thou mayest be better.
Care, mad to see a man sae happy, E'en drouned himsel amang the nappy.
Old truths are always new to us, if they come with the smell of heaven upon them.
The heart, when broken, is like sweet gums and spices when beaten; for as such cast their fragrant scent into the nostrils of men, so the heart, when broken, casts its sweet smell into the nostrils of God.
To-despise the world is the way to enjoy heaven; and blessed are they who delight to converse with God by prayer.
