6th High Steward of Scotland

Famous quotes containing the words high, steward and/or scotland:

    The duties which a police officer owes to the state are of a most exacting nature. No one is compelled to choose the profession of a police officer, but having chosen it, everyone is obliged to live up to the standard of its requirements. To join in that high enterprise means the surrender of much individual freedom.
    Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
    Bible: New Testament Luke, 16:3.

    The unjust steward in the Parable of the Unjust Steward.

    The “second sight” possessed by the Highlanders in Scotland is actually a foreknowledge of future events. I believe they possess this gift because they don’t wear trousers.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
