Scholar Rocks

Famous quotes containing the words scholar and/or rocks:

“And let a scholar all earth’s volumes carry,
He will be but a walking dictionary:
A mere articulate clock.”

“Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
To mourn, and murmur and repine,
To see the wicked placed on high,
In pride and robes of honor shine.
But oh, their end, their dreadful end,
Thy sanctuary taught me so,
On slipp’ry rocks I see them stand,
And fiery billows roll below.”
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
