Welcome

To online home of the Winnipeg Robert Burns Club, now in our 102nd year

Whatever mitigates the woes,

or increases the happiness of others,

this is my criterion of goodness:

and whatever injures society

at large, or any individual in it,

this is my measure of iniquity.

For thus the Royal mandate ran
When first the human race began
The social, friendly, honest man
Whate'er he be

'Tis he fulfils great Nature's plan
And none but he.
