Who said “The best laid plans of mice and men”?

Copilot:

“The best laid plans of mice and men” is a famous phrase that originates from the poem “To a Mouse” by Robert Burns. This expression was later popularized by the 1937 novel “Of Mice and Men” written by John Steinbeck. In the poem, a farmer expresses regret after accidentally destroying a mouse’s nest while plowing. The line goes:

“The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men / Gang aft a-gley.”
