Image
Thus aged men, full loth and slow, The vanities of life forego, And count their youthful follies o'er, Till Memory lends her light no more.
Walter Scott
Image
Chess is a sad waste of brains.
Walter Scott
Image
The race of mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. We cannot exist without mutual help. All therefore that need aid have a right to ask it from their fellow-men and no one who has the power of granting can refuse it without guilt.
Walter Scott
Image
Great talent has always a little madness mixed up with it.
Walter Scott
Image
My foot is on my native heath, and my name is MacGregor.
Walter Scott
Image
Give me an honest laugher.
Walter Scott
Image
O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war, Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?
Walter Scott
Image
He that follows the advice of reason has a mind that is elevated above the reach of injury that sits above the clouds, in a calm and quiet ether, and with a brave indifferency hears the rolling thunders grumble and burst under his feet.
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
Art thou a friend to Roderick?
Walter Scott
Image
For monarchs seldom sigh in vain.
Walter Scott
Image
Greatness of any kind has no greater foe than a habit of drinking.
Walter Scott
Image
Without courage there cannot be truth, and without truth there can be no other virtue.
Walter Scott
Image
Where lives the man that has not tried How mirth can into folly glide, And folly into sin!
Walter Scott
Image
I am she, O most bucolical juvenal, under whose charge are placed the milky mothers of the herd.
Walter Scott
Image
And better had they ne'er been born, Who read to doubt, or read to scorn.
Walter Scott
Image
You will, I trust, resemble a forest plant, which has indeed, by some accident, been brought up in the greenhouse, and thus rendered delicate and effeminate, but which regains its native firmness and tenacity, when exposed for a season to the winter air.
Walter Scott
Image
Love will subsist on wonderfully little hope but not altogether without it.
Walter Scott
Image
I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives and I am quite satisfied it is in compassion to the human race for if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or twelve years, what would it be if they were to live double that time?
Walter Scott

Faces that have charmed us the most escape us the soonest.
