Walter Scott

Revenge is the sweetest morsel to the mouth that ever was cooked in hell.

The most important part of a man's education is that which he gives himself.

Look back and laugh at past dangers.

To the shy and the indecisive, everything seems impossible, because that's how it appears to them.

Resting too much is like rusting.

He who climbs a ladder must start at the first rung.

Self-love is the greatest of all flatterers.
