Walter Scott
Image

Walter Scott

Real valor consists not in being insensible to danger but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.
Walter Scott
Image
In the lost battle, Borne down by the flying, Where mingles war's rattle With groans of the dying.
Walter Scott
Image
Never was flattery lost on a poet's ear a simple race, they waste their toil for the vain tribute of a smile.
Walter Scott
Image
Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land.
Walter Scott
Image
To the timid and hesitating everything is impossible because it seems so.
Walter Scott
Image
Necessity--thou best of peacemakers, As well as surest prompter of invention.
Walter Scott
Image
Greatness of any kind has no greater foe than a habit of drinking.
Walter Scott

The sun never sets on the immense empire of Charles V.
