Lassie/history

Famous quotes containing the words lassie and/or history:

    Of a’ the airts the wind can blaw,
    I dearly like the west,
    For there the bonnie lassie lives,
    The lassie I lo’e best;

    The best history is but like the art of Rembrandt; it casts a vivid light on certain selected causes, on those which were best and greatest; it leaves all the rest in shadow and unseen.
