Mankind is a science that defies definitions.

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."

Ah, gentle dames! it gars me greet To think how monie counsels sweet, How monie lengthened sage advices, The husband frae the wife despises.

The heart that is generous and kind most resembles God.

All my fears and cares are of this world; if there is another, an honest man has nothing to fear from it.

The fear o' hell's a hangman's whip To haud the wretch in order; But where ye feel your honour grip, Let that aye be your border.

A eunuch is a man who has had his work cut out for him.
