Humility

“Yet let me hope that De Bracy’s name has not been always unspoken when minstrels or heralds have praised deeds of chivalry, whether in the lists or in the battlefield.”  “To heralds and to minstrels, then, leave they praise, Sir Knight,” replied Rowena, “more suiting for their mouths than for thine own.” (185)

Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott

I love this quote, and it’s one of a million from that book! 🙂

Anchored

“Thy resolution may fluctuate on the wild and changeful billows of human opinion; but mine is anchored on the Rock of Ages” (345).

-“Ivanhoe” by Sir Walter Scott

This is one of my favorite books!  I flipped through it yesterday and read all the things I’ve underlined–and then some.  All its faults taken into consideration, I’d forgotten how much I love that book!
