Walter Scott
Image
Guilt, though it may attain temporal splendor, can never confer real happiness the evil consequences of our crimes long survive their commission, and, like the ghosts of the murdered, forever haunt the steps of the malefactor while the paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.

Walter Scott
Image
High minds, of native pride and force, Most deeply feel thy pangs, Remorse Fear, for their scourge, means villains have, Thou art the torturer of the brave!
Walter Scott
Image
Where shall the lover rest, Whom the fates sever From his true maiden's breast, Parted for ever? Where, through groves deep and high, Sounds the far billow, Where early violets die, Under the willow.
Walter Scott
Image
Silence, maiden thy tongue outruns thy discretion.
Walter Scott
Image
Success or failure in business is caused more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities.
Walter Scott
Image
Lambe them, lads! lambe them! a cant phrase of the time derived from the fate of Dr. Lambe, an astrologer and quack, who was knocked on the head by the rabble in Charles the First's time.
Walter Scott
