Gie Me Ae Spark O' Nature's Fire,

To Make Three Guineas Do The Work Of Five.

I Pick My Favourite Quotations And Store Them In My Mind As Ready Armour, Offensive Or Defensive, Amid The Struggle Of This Turbulent Existence.

A Women Can Make An Average Man Great, And A Great Man Average.

Not The Bee Upon The Blossom, In The Pride O' Sunny Noon; Not The Little Sporting Fairy, All Beneath The Simmer Moon; Not The Poet, In The Moment Fancy Lightens In His E'e, Kens The Pleasure, Feels The Rapture, That Thy Presence Gi'es To Me.

And Wild-scatter'd Cowslips Bedeck The Green Dale.
