Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet, foi um romancista, poeta e historiador escocês. Muitos de seus trabalhos permanecem clássicos da literatura europeia e escocesa. Ele é conhecido por seus romances Waverley (1814–1831), que foram, por quase um século, entre os romances mais populares e amplamente lidos na Europa. Ele também é conhecido por seus poemas narrativos Marmion (1808) e The Lady of the Lake (1810). Ele influenciou grandemente a literatura europeia e americana.
“But mankind—the race would perish did they cease to aid each other.—From the time that the mother binds the child's head, till the moment that some kind assistant wipes the death-damp from the brow of the dying, we cannot exist without mutual help. All, therefore, that need aid, have the right to ask it of their fellow-mortals; no one who has the power of granting can refuse it without guilt.”
“Heaven knows its time; the bullet has its billet.”
“Revenge—the sweetest morsel to the mouth that ever was cooked in hell!”
“Women are but the toys which amuse our lighter hours-ambition is the serious business of life.”
“The pith of conversation does not consist in exhibiting your own superior knowledge on matters of small consequence, but in enlarging, improving, and correcting the information you possess, by the authority of others.”
“Recollect that the Almighty, who gave the dog to be companion of our pleasures and our toils, hath invested him with a nature noble and incapable of deceit.”
