We've settled our troubles our ain way these twa thousand years, and we'll e'en do sae again.

But we maun recognize that there are things we maun do tae mak' the lot of the man that's underneath a happier and a better one.
He maun help, tae.

He maun realize that there's a chance for him.

I'm haulding mysel' as one proof of that--it's why I've told you sae muckle in this book of myself and the way that I've come frae the pit tae the success and the comfort that I ken the noo.
I had to learn, lang agane, that my business was not only mine.

Maybe you'll think that I'm less concerned with others and their affairs than maist folk, and maybe that's true, tae.
