"Necessity's sharp pinch!" ~ King Lear by William Shakespeare "How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child!" ~ King Lear by William Shakespeare Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth,
When thought is speech, and speech is truth. ~ Marmion by Sir Walter Scott Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceive! ~ Marmion by Sir Walter Scott Heap on more wood!--the wind is chill;
But let it whistle as it will,
We'll keep our Christmas merry still. ~ Marmion by Sir Walter Scott And come he slow, or come he fast,
It is but Death who comes at last. ~ Marmion by Sir Walter Scott "Women are but the toys which amuse our lighter hours---ambition is the serious business of life." ~ Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott "Chivalry!---why, maiden, she is the nurse of pure and high affection---the stay of the oppressed, the redresser of grievances, the curb of the power of the tyrant ---Nobility were but an empty name without her, and liberty finds the best protection in her lance and her sword." ~ Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott "What remains?" cried Ivanhoe; "Glory, maiden, glory! which gilds our sepulchre and embalms our name." ~ Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott "You have power, rank, command, influence; we have wealth, the source both of our strength and weakness." ~ Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott
