Greatness may big the monument, but goodness maun gie the epitaph. Great pains and little gains soon mak a man weary. Great tochers makna aye the greatest testaments. Had I a fish, was ne'er gude wi garlic. Hae you gear, or hae you nane, Tine heart, and a' is gane. Hame is a hamely name. Herschip in the highlands! the hens are i' the corn; if the cock gets in, it will ne'er be shorn. Hankering and hanging on, is but a poor trade. Hae is half fou. He can ill rin that canna gang.
