Not an original thought of course. (Although there are some who say there aren’t any left. π ) Still, a truth we often forget to let guide us.
“The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men,
Gang aft agley,
An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promis’d joy! ”
– Robert Burns, To a Mouse (Poem, November, 1785)
Scottish national poet (1759 – 1796)
(The best laid schemes of Mice and Men
oft go awry,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!)
