A glass of whisky in Scotland in the thirties cost less than a cup of tea.

My return to London introduced me to a wider range of society.

The first issue of The Register was printed in London, and gave a glowing account of the province that was to be - its climate, its resources, the sound principles on which it was founded.

I think I was well brought up, for my father and mother were of one mind regarding the care of the family.

I had seen Adelaide the dearest and the cheapest place to live in.

I look back to a happy childhood.

South Australia was the first community to give the secret ballot for political elections.

I had learned what wealth was, and a great deal about production and exchange for myself in the early history of South Australia - of the value of machinery, of roads and bridges, and of ports for transport and export.

Even before the discovery of copper South Australia had turned the corner.

Probably my mother's life was prolonged beyond that of a long-lived family by her coming to Australia in middle life; and if I ever had any tendency to consumption, the climate must have helped me.

I had only two offers of marriage in my life, and I refused both.

I count myself well educated, for the admirable woman at the head of the school which I attended from the age of four and a half till I was thirteen and a half, was a born teacher in advance of her own times.

My brothers went to the parish school, one of the best in the county.

Drinking habits were very prevalent among men, and were not in any way disgraceful, unless excessive.

My pamphlet did not set the Torrens on fire.

Nothing is insignificant in the history of a young community, and - above all - nothing seems impossible.

A glass of whisky in Scotland in the thirties cost less than a cup of tea.

After the break up of the municipality and the loss of his income my father lost health and spirits.

Our South Australian farmers left their holdings in the hands of their wives and children too young to take with them, but almost all of them returned to grow grain and produce to send to Victoria.

As we grew to love South Australia, we felt that we were in an expanding society, still feeling the bond to the motherland, but eager to develop a perfect society, in the land of our adoption.

The Town Clerkship, however, was the means of giving me a lesson in electoral methods.

Drinking habits were very prevalent among men and were not in any way disgraceful unless excessive.

I was born in London, and went to school in Scotland - I used to be dead tired when I got home at night.

There is a one woman in China that claimed she paid $50 to get my e-mail address. It was pretty shocking. I got one this morning from Scotland. A girl's requesting a signed photo of me.

There's something fundamentally wrong with a system where there's been 17 years of a Tory Government and the people of Scotland have voted Socialist for 17 years. That hardly seems democratic.

My point is there's a hidden Scotland in anyone who speaks the Northern Ireland speech. It's a terrific complicating factor, not just in Northern Ireland, but Ireland generally.

I know there's some kind of history to mountain music-like it came from Ireland or England or Scotland and we kept up the tradition.

Iceland, though it lies so far to the north that it is partly within the Arctic Circle, is, like Norway, Scotland, and Ireland, affected by the Gulf Stream, so that considerable portions of it are quite habitable.

While some of them acknowledge the obligation of natural morality in their mode of conducting their cases, and preserve their individual character as gentlemen, there are others who acknowledge no law, human or divine, but the law of Scotland.

My place in Scotland is in the middle of nowhere, so you've just got a keyboard, guitar, a little drum machine and you know if you can work stuff out like that, if you can hammer out songs that sound good just with those three things and a voice, you're on your way.

Scotland is the Canada of England!

Only 4 percent of all the companies owned in Scotland have their head offices in Scotland.

James's expedition to Scotland is wholly imaginary, though there appears to have been space for it during Henry's progress to the North to pay his devotions at Beverley Minster.

My parents were both from Scotland, but had been resident in Lower Canada some time before their marriage, which took place in Montreal; and in that city I spent most of my life.

Remember, the Arctic didn't have any ice. And the Northwest Passage was wide open. They were raising grapes in Scotland for God sakes, had a huge winery. Iceland was a farming community. As some of the glaciers retreated they found villages that were covered with ice.

All was well, until I reached the port of Havre. Three officers with the rank of lieutenant, whom afterwards I knew to be Scotland Yard men, came aboard and demanded to see my papers which they took away from me.

When you hear someone from the very north of Scotland speaking, I think its nice, very musical and harmonious.

I fell in love with Scotland and made good friends here, so I stayed after graduating with Honours in Chemistry.

One of the attractive things about being in Scotland is that we have a very good pipeline of new people coming into the company from the excellent universities around us.

I perceive two things in Scotland of the most fearful omen: ignorance of theological truth, and a readiness to pride themselves in and boast of it.

I met Jack Bruce, one of my heroes, in a studio while doing some recording. England had just beat Scotland in a big football match and I saw Jack trying to break into this refrigerator in the lounge, drunk out of his brain, and I didn't know what to say.

It is time we in Scotland put England in its proper place and instead of our leaning on England and taking inspiration from her, we should lean and turn to Europe, for it is there our future prosperity lies.

Without the shepherd's dog, the whole of the open mountainous land in Scotland would not be worth a sixpence.

The Evangelical party in the Church of Scotland will lay all flat if they be not prevented.

It's different in Scotland. People who come to readings are more interested in literature as such, but the readership in general is really quite diverse. It's a cliche, but it's said that people who read my books don't read any other books, and you do get that element.

But I fear, my lot being cast in Scotland, that beauty would not be content.

I look upon Switzerland as an inferior sort of Scotland.

The Navy's paid for you to go through school, and then they need doctors to go out and take care of people who are in various different parts of the world. I decided to pay back my time first as an undersea medical officer. I was stationed in Scotland.

My mother's background was Scottish. She came from an old family, some of whom lived in upper New York State and some of whom had come over from Scotland.
