Some have meat, and cannot eat, And some cannot eat that want it; But we have meat, and we can eat - And let the Lord be thanked.

Critics! Those cut-throat bandits in the paths of fame.

Learn taciturnity and let that be your motto.

Opera is where a guy gets stabbed in the back, and instead of dying, he sings.

The best plans of men and mice often go awry.

There is no such uncertainty as a sure thing.

Oh wad some power the giftie gie us To see ourselvs as others see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us, And foolish notion.
