Walter Scott quotes

Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,Who never to himself hath said,This is my own, my native land!Whose heart hath neer within him burnd,As home his footsteps he hath turnd,From wandering on a foreign strand!
- Walter Scott
We build statues out of snow, and weep to see them melt.
- Walter Scott
Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land!
- Walter Scott
Ambition breaks the ties of blood, and forgets the obligations of gratitude.
- Walter Scott
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
- Walter Scott
