Quote:"...Killigans plans are always ruined by Kim Possible, and of course he, like all the other villains, keeps trying again... actually takes the ‘if at first you don’t succeed try try again’ saying too seriously."


Of course, this saying has a Scottish origin--legend says when Robert the Bruce had been defeated in battle six times, he was forced to take refuge in a cave, where he watched a spider try six times to span a gap for a web. Thinking of their similar situation, Bruce predicted the spider would fail--but she tried a seventh time, and succeeded! This inspired Bruce to try again, and he succeeded also! Thus, perseverance is another of those qualities, like thriftiness, courage, and hardiness, that are proverbially scottish.
