The best-laid schemes o' mice an 'menGang aft agley.

Summary

This quote, from the poem "To a Mouse" by Robert Burns, means that even the most well-thought-out plans of both humans and animals often go awry or go off course. It suggests that despite our efforts to meticulously plan and control outcomes, there are always unpredictable or unforeseen circumstances that can disrupt our intentions. It serves as a reminder to remain adaptable and resilient when faced with setbacks or unexpected changes in life.
