Ruled paper (or lined paper) is writing paper that typically consists of horizontal lines meant to separate lines of hand-written text, and vertical lines meant to provide margins or to act as tab stops.
A popular alternative to lined paper is graph paper (or, grid paper). It is a grid layout in which horizontal and vertical lines are equally spaced, dividing the page into squares.

Famous quotes containing the words ruled and/or paper:
“It is easier to rule others than to keep from being ruled oneself.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Apart from their other characteristics, the outstanding thing about China’s 600 million people is that they are “poor and blank.” This may seem a bad thing, but in reality it is a good thing. Poverty gives rise to the desire for change, the desire for action and the desire for revolution. On a blank sheet of paper free from any mark, the freshest and most beautiful pictures can be painted.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
