More quotes by Walter Scott
It is only when I dally with what I am about, look back and aside, instead of keeping my eyes straight forward, that I feel these cold sinkings of the heart.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott

Walter Scott

Walter Scott
come he slow or come he fast it is but death that comes at last
Walter Scott
My foot is on my native heath, and my name is MacGregor.
Walter Scott
Success - keeping your mind awake and your desire asleep.
Walter Scott
Tears are the softening showers which cause the seed of heaven to spring up in the human heart.
Walter Scott
Like the dew on the mountain, like the foam on the river, like the bubble on the fountain, thou art gone, and for ever!
Walter Scott
Revenge, the sweetest morsel to the mouth that ever was cooked in hell.
Walter Scott
