Your sig

Miss the home country. Love upstate NY, but still in exile . . . sigh . . .

Mine is simply a modification of the old adage...more pertinent to me and what I do...

[Big Dave]

Mine's from Alice in Wonderland, when Alice is talking to the Cheshire Cat.

Alice...."But I don't want to go among the mad people".
C.C....."We are all mad here, I'm mad, your mad..."
Alice...."What make's you think I'm mad?"
C.C....."You're here aren't you?"
It suits me all too well.

mine is exactly what it is...a link to my kilt site, and the kilts I hve owned.

Glen,

You have once again given pause for thought. And, I thought it was time I had something more than my name for a signature.

I chose a quote from my best friend, who died of cancer. He had a wonderful philosophy on life and as you can see a great sense of humour.

I think of him often.

[Freelander Sporrano]

Mine is the slogan I use in the sporran world

[MacSimoin]

My own signature is a quote from G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936), one of the least appreciated writers/thinkers of his time. Regarded as paradoxical yet quite sensible, he often confounded but widely commanded the respect of his contemporaries, writers such as George Bernard Shaw and C.S. Lewis (one of Chesteron's books, The Everlasting Man, is known to have influenced Lewis' conversion from atheism to Christianity).

The quote in my signature is widely misunderstood but simply put it can be explained to mean that willful indifference (or apathy, if you will) towards the ills of society is quite often brought about by a lack of religious (or moral) convictions. See this site if you're interested in learning more about Chesteron.

[Caradoc]

Inter spem curamque, timores inter et iras
Amid the hope and worry, the fear and anger

omnen crede diem tibi diluxisse supremem:
believe that each day which breaks is your last:

grata superveniet quae non sperabitur hora.
the unhoped for hour will be a welcome surprise.

(The above three lines appear in Horace's "Epistles," Book I, Epistle
IV, lines 12-14, and have been quoted in various places such as
Enya's "Pax Deorum.")

[Valencian Kilted]

Mine is the end of a trad. scottish song that talks about a Campbell that kills a police in Embra, just defending himself of the discrimination of the lowlanders against the highlanders and also the irish inmigrants, that is,... the more "celtic" ones... it made me think about what I had listened about the Campbells,... their support to the english Crown,.... Glencoe,.... Culloden, the inspiration for the black watch tartan,.... etc,....

Suddenly I noticed that even when they were told such a lot of "ugly things", they also considered themselves as highlanders, and even they suffered the abolition of kilts after the '45... I DEFINITELY NOTICED THAT i HAD TO OPEN MY MIND A LITLE WIDER. Nothing is black or white.... there are always different levels of grey.

If someone can get the song, it's a version of Dick Vaughn, called "Erinn go Bragh".... and except maybe for P1M, I strongly recommand to look for the written lyrics :mrgreen:

¡Salud!

Simply the last two lines of "The Parting Glass" which is a traditional Irish song sung at the end of the night as people break up after one last pint.
