I've always been hopeful about Scotland's prospects. And I now believe more than ever that Scotland is within touching distance of achieving independence and equality.

Scotland should be nothing less than equal with all the other nations of the world.

Either what we hold to be right and good and true IS right and good and true, for all mankind, or we're just another robber tribe.

Everything I have done or attempted to do for Scotland has always been for her benefit, never my own and I defy anyone to prove otherwise.

If you fear nothing, you love nothing. If you love nothing, what joy can there be in life?

But I wouldn't call myself sadistic.

More than anything else, I'd like to be an old man with a good face, like Hitchcock or Picasso.
