"People will say this phrase in proper English but it doesnt mean as much to me as it did when my grandpa said it to me in Scots. I always remember it whenever anythings going a wee bit wrong, or Im not sure where Im headed next.

"I love that someone else chose the same phrase as me, but has actually spelt it correctly! I anglicised what my (Scottish) gran used to tell me. Wise words either way."
