The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley

A field mouse stands beside an upturned plough, thistles either side, and the line that has consoled planners since 1785: the best-laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley.

Robert Burns wrote it after turning up a mouse's nest with his plough in 1785. Two centuries on it still covers every spreadsheet that fell apart on a Tuesday.

Part of the Burns mug set, so it sits well with the others on the shelf.
