Quotes by Ian R. Hamilton  (?)

“I have had many other adventures since. Yet this was the first and most important one. It set the tone for my whole life. It taught me that non-conformity in thought and deed is the only vital life. The individual is more important than the mass. Any single person can change history. MPs are the lest effectual of citizens. Political parties are for sheep-minds. Heresy is Godliness. And so on. It was the first major event in a life in which I have loved greatly, and in which I have been both loved and hated in return. I would never have it otherwise. To inspire only respect is to fail. Respect is a form of indifference.”
Ian R. Hamilton, Stone of Destiny

“It will be a bad day for any country when its young sit at home and do as their elders tell them. It will be even worse, and the end of all our freedoms, for the old as well as the young, when youngsters of conscience are afraid of the police.”
Ian R. Hamilton, Stone of Destiny

“So many Scots, forgetting that one of the great features of our history is the mobility between the classes, have lapsed into the English habit of thought best expressed in the words, 'I wouldn't presume. I hope I know my place.' I always presume. I have never known my place.”
Ian R. Hamilton, Stone of Destiny
