There are pens and pencils. Pens are permanent, so if you make a mistake with a pen, you can't go back. But if you make a mistake with a pencil, you can just go back and erase your mistake. So, in a way life are like pens. Because if you make a mistake in the past, you can't simply erase that mistake. Unlike pencils, which have erasers. Unless, if you have a pen that has an eraser.”

“…And that eraser is called Jesus Christ.

Additional quotes by William Wallace

I can not be a traitor, for I owe him no allegiance. He is not my Sovereign; he never received my homage; and whilst life is in this persecuted body, he never shall receive it. To the other points whereof I am accused, I freely confess them all. As Governor of my country I have been an enemy to its enemies; I have slain the English; I have mortally opposed the English King; I have stormed and taken the towns and castles which he unjustly claimed as his own. If I or my soldiers have plundered or done injury to the houses or ministers of religion, I repent me of my sin; but it is not of Edward of England I shall ask pardon.

We come here with no peaceful intent, but ready for battle, determined to avenge our wrongs and set our country free. Let your masters come and attack us: we are ready to meet them beard to beard.
