The Book of Books Within this ample volume lies The mystery of mysteries. Happiest they of human race To whom their God has given grace To read, to fear, to hope, to pray, To lift the latch, to force the way But better had they ne'er been born That read to doubt or read to scorn.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
We shall never learn to feel and respect our real calling and destiny, unless we have taught ourselves to consider every thing as moonshine, compared with the education of the heart.
Walter Scott
It 's no fish ye 're buying, it 's men's lives.
Walter Scott
No scene of mortal life but teems with mortal woe.
Walter Scott
Cats are a very mysterious kind of folk. There is always more passing in their minds than we are aware of.
Walter Scott
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Walter Scott
But with morning cool repentance came.
Walter Scott
