Walter Scott Quotes About Life

• I will suppose that you have no friends to share or rejoice in your success in life — that you cannot look back to those to whom you owe gratitude, or forward to those to whom you ought to afford protection; but it is no less incumbent on you to move steadily in the path of duty — for your active exertions are due not only to society, but in humble titude to the Being who made you a member of it, with powers to serve yourself and others.

  Whom the fates sever
  From his true maiden's breast,

  Sounds the far billow,
  Where early violets die,

• En la paz, el Amor afina la caña del pastor;
  En la guerra, monta el corcel del guerrero;
  En los salones, en alegre atuendo se ve;
  En las aldeas, baila en el verde.

  Y los hombres abajo, y los santos arriba;
  Porque el amor es el cielo, y el cielo es amor.
