Famous quotes containing the words burns and/or fellowship:

    Wee image of my bonnie Betty,
    I fatherly will kiss and daut thee,
    As dear an’ near my heart I set thee
    Wi’ as guid will,
    As a’ the priests had seen me get thee
    That’s out o’ hell.
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    There is a fellowship more quiet even than solitude, and which, rightly understood, is solitude made perfect.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
