From scenes like these old Scotia's grandeur springs, That makes her loved at home, revered abroad: Princes and lords are but the breath of kings, "An honest man 's the noblest work of God."

Or like the snow falls in the river, A moment white-then melts for ever . . .

Suspicion is a heavy armor and with its weight it impedes more than it protects.

Inspiring bold JohnBarleycorn! What dangers thou canst make us scorn! Wi' usquebae, we'll face the devil!

Suspense is worst than disappointment.

Chords that vibrate sweetest pleasure Thrill the deepest notes of woe.

If there's another world, he lives in bliss; if there is none, he made the best of this.
