More quotes by Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, morn of toil, nor night of waking.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
In love quarrels the party that loves the most is always most willing to acknowledge the greater fault.
Walter Scott
A good deal of philanthropy arises in general from mere vanity and love of distinction gilded over to others and to themselves with some show of benevolent sentiment.
Walter Scott
Some feelings are to mortals given With less of earth in them than heaven.
Walter Scott
Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust, from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonor'd, and unsung.
Walter Scott
Meat eaten without either mirth or music is ill of digestion.
Walter Scott
