The 2,000,000th post game

Be happy while you're living, For you're a long time dead.

Egotism is an alphabet of one letter.

Fools look to tomorrow. Wise men use tonight.

Luck never gives; it only lends.

The devil's boots don't creak.

They that sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind.

"Scottish by birth, British by law,
Highlander by the grace of God"

" No one in Scotland can escape from the past.
It is everywhere, haunting like a ghost."

" Glencoe. A gloomy, eerie place, a valley of sorrow
hewn out of mountains of guilt."
Geddes MacGregor

For that is the mark of the Scots of all classes:
that he stands in an attitude towards the past
unthinkable to Englishmen, and remembers and
cherishes the memory of his forebears, good or
bad; and there burns alive in him a sense of identity
with the dead even to the twentieth generation.
Robert Louis Stevenson

We look to Scotland for all our ideas of civilisation

Those that board with cats may count on scratches.

Better be a coward than a corpse.

Give a beggar a bed and he'll pay you with a louse

It's guid to be merry and wise,
It's guid to be honest and true,
It's guid to support Caledonia's cause,
And bide by the buff and the blue!

O, my Luve is like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June.
O, my Luve is like the melodie,
That's sweetly played in tune.

Where the pools are bright and deep
Where the gray trout lies asleep,
Up the river and o'er the lea
That's the way for Billy and me.

George, the British Empire at present covers a quarter of the globe, while the German Empire consists of a small sausage factory in Tanganyika. I hardly think that we can be entirely absolved of blame on the imperialistic front.
