Open Walk

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or walk:

    For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with columbine innocency, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpent: his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest; that is, all forms and natures of evil: for without this, virtue lieth open and unfenced.
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

    Yes, while I live, no rich or noble knave
    Shall walk the world, in credit, to his grave.
    To Virtue only and her friends, a friend,
    The world beside may murmur, or commend.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
