"Nous nous tournons vers l'Écosse pour trouver toutes nos idées sur la civilisation" (We look to Scotland for all our ideas of civilisation.) -- attrbuted to Voltaire (b. 1694-11-21, d. 1778-05-30)
[I have not found the work or letter where he said this, but I did find lots of works in French and English attributing it to him and none crediting anyone else ... OTOH, given the history of the most famous line attributed to him I remain cautious until I find a more detailed citation.]
