“Mauritian Giving is when you give something great to someone who doesn't really deserve it. Well, Scottish Giving is when the gift is so much greater than the recipient deserves that it dignifies the receiver.”
Natasha Soobramanien & Luke Williams

Alexander McCall Smith
“Everything, all those great things, had happened so far away--or so it seemed to [Mma Ramotswe] at the time. The world was made to sound as if it belonged to other people--to those who lived in distant countries that were so different from Botswana; that was before people had learned to assert that the world was theirs too, that what happened in Botswana was every bit as important, and valuable, as what happened anywhere else.”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Double Comfort Safari Club
