"And on 25 January of each year and for many days before it and after it there is not an hour in the day or night when a Burns Supper is not taking place somewhere on this earth."
Day
"Having said that, I enjoyed every minute of my time and I got a degree of job satisfaction which I am sure was far greater than the majority of my colleagues."
Time
"If I was starting off now, I would probably have taken one or two different turnings along the way."
Now
"For in the works of Robert Burns we see the whole cosmos of man's experience and emotion, from zenith to nadir, from birth until death."
Death

Law
"And thus it was that I started to wonder why Robert Burns is so important to us. We have other poets, and other writers, and other heroes, yet we do not afford them the veneration that we afford to Robert Burns."
Heroes

Attitude
"There are even more statues of Robert Burns than of any other figure in world literature. Indeed if we discount figures of religion, then only Christopher Columbus has more statues than he worldwide."
Religion
"Besides, I always thought that one of the great attractions of practising law was what I like to call the collegiality of the profession and I think that duty of collegiality applies even when we are retired."
Thought
"One cannot imagine Scots music and song without the contribution of Burns."
