- Quotes by Sir Walter Scott
“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, unhonour’d, and unsung”. - Quotes by Bertrand Russell
