Contentions fierce, Ardent, and dire, spring from no petty cause.
Walter Scott
Image
To be ambitious of true honor, of the true glory and perfection of our natures, is the very principle and incentive of virtue.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Image
The man who is deserving the name is the one whose thoughts and exertions are for others rather than for himself.
Walter Scott
Image
And better had they ne'er been born, Who read to doubt, or read to scorn.
Walter Scott
Image
He who indulges his sense in any excesses renders himself obnoxious to his own reason and, to gratify the brute in him, displeases the man, and sets his two natures at variance.
Walter Scott
Image
Great talent has always a little madness mixed up with it.
Walter Scott
Image
Thou hast had thty day, old dame, but thy sun has long been set. Thou art now the very emblem of an old warhorse turned out on the barren heath thou hast had thy paces in thy time, but now a broken amble is the best of them.
Walter Scott
Image
O woman! in our hours of ease Uncertain, coy, and hard to please, And variable as the shade By the light quivering aspen made When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou!
Walter Scott
Image
Success or failure in business is caused more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities.
Walter Scott
Image
