"The English are better animals than the Scots; they are nearer the sun; their blood is richer, and more mellow."

"My heart warmed to my countrymen, and my Scotch blood boiled with indignation. I jumped from the benches, roared out 'Damn you, you rascals!', hissed and was in the greatest rage ... I hated the English; I wished from my soul that the Union was broke and that we might give them another battle of Bannockburn"

(recounting a situation where Londoners had been openly mocking two Highland officers and he had jumped to their defence)

"He who has provoked the lash of wit, cannot complain that he smarts from it. "

Dr Johnson (on Porridge): "In Scotland you eat Oats which in England we feed only to our horses."

Boswell: "Which is why England breeds excellent horses and Scotland breeds excellent men!".
