Walter Scott
Image

What is a diary as a rule? A document useful to the person who keeps it. Dull to the contemporary who reads it and invaluable to the student, centuries afterwards, who treasures it.

Although too much of a soldier among sovereigns, no one could claim with better right to be a sovereign among soldiers.
