- “I amna fou' sae muckle as tired — deid dune. It's gey and hard wark coupin' gless for glessWi' Cruivie and Gilsanquhar and the like,And I'm no' juist as bauld as aince I wes.”
- “I'll ha'e nae hauf-way hoose, but aye be whaurExtremes meet — it's the only way I kenTo dodge the curst conceit o' bein' richtThat damns the vast majority o' men.”
- “To meddle wi the thistle and to pluck The figs frae't is my metier, I think.”
- “The number of people who can copulate properly may be few; the number who can write well are infinitely fewer.”
- “If there's a sword-like sangThat can cut Scotland clearO a' the warld besideRax me the hilt o't here.For there's nae jewal tillFrae the rest o earth it's free,Wi the starry separatenessI'd fain to Scotland gie.”
- “The rose of all the world is not for me.I want for my partOnly the little white rose of ScotlandThat smells sharp and sweet — and breaks the heart.”
