Famous quotes containing the words hill, forts and/or scotland:
“Mahomet made the people believe that he would call a hill to him, and from the top of it offer up his prayers for the observers of the Law.

—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“Charge once more, then, and be dumb!
Let the victors, when they come,
When the forts of folly fall,
Find thy body by the wall!”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
