Fave QuotesDoes anyone have some really good Scottish quotes? heres my favourite, taken from the declaration of arbroath 1320;
"...Yet if he should give up what he has begun, and agree to make us or our kingdom subject to the King of England or the English, we should exert ourselves at once to drive him out as our enemy and a subverter of his own rights and ours, and make some other man who was well able to defend us our King; for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom — for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

Winston Churchill seems to have liked pigs;
"Dogs look up to you,
cats look down on you,
but pigs just treat you as an equal."

"No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot."
John MacLean at the High Court, Edinburgh (May 9th 1918)
