Selected quotes by Sir Walter Scott
The paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth, When thought is speech, and speech is truth.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive!
Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land?
Vengeance to God alone belongs; But, when I think on all my wrongs, >>My blood is liquid flame!
