From Robert Burns, the Bard of Ayrshire, Ploughman Poet

I like to have quotations ready for every occasion --
         they give one's ideas so pat
      and save one the trouble of finding expression
                     adequate to one's feeling.

Nice. I thought such a great poet would always have the right sentiment.

He more than likely has a file box of them for inspiration.
