Walter Scott
Ridicule often checks what is absurd, and fully as often smothers that which is noble.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
For he that does good, having the unlimited power to do evil, deserves praise not only for the good which he performs, but for the evil which he forbears.
Walter Scott
Many a law, many a commandment have I broken, but my word never.
Walter Scott
Earth walks on Earth, Glittering in gold Earth goes to Earth, Sooner than it wold Earth builds on Earth, Palaces and towers Earth says to Earth, Soon, all shall be ours.
Walter Scott
If you keep a thing seven years, you are sure to find a use for it.
Walter Scott
Hard toil can roughen form and face, And want call quench the eye's bright grace.
Walter Scott
...crystal and hearts would lose all their merit in the world if it were not for their fragility.
Walter Scott
