A lawyer without history or literature is a mechanic, a mere working mason; if he possesses some knowledge of these, he may venture to call himself an architect.

What is a diary as a rule? A document useful to the person who keeps it. Dull to the contemporary who reads it and invaluable to the student, centuries afterwards, who treasures it.

If you once turn on your side after the hour at which you ought to rise, it is all over. Bolt up at once.

Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Breathes there the man, with ...

Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land! Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd, As home his footsteps he hath turn'd From wandering on a foreign strand! If such there breathe, go mark him well; For him no Minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim; Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust, from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonor'd, and unsung.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

True love's the gift which God has given
To man alone beneath the heaven.
It is the secret sympathy,
The silver link, the silken tie,
Which heart to heart, and mind to mind,
In body and in soul can bind.

November's sky is chill and drear, November's leaf is red and sear.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Blessed be his name, who hath appointed the quiet night to follow the busy day, and the calm sleep to refresh the wearied limbs and to compose the troubled spirit.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Chivalry!---why, maiden, she ...

Chivalry!---why, maiden, she is the nurse of pure and high affection---the stay of the oppressed, the redresser of grievances, the curb of the power of the tyrant ---Nobility were but an empty name without her, and liberty finds the best protection in her lance and her sword.

There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.

Greatness of any kind has no greater foe than a habit of drinking.

Cats are a very mysterious kind of folk. There is always more passing in their minds than we are aware of.

My hope, my heaven, my trust must be, My gentle guide, in following thee.
