Walter Scott

"One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name."

"Each age has deemed the new-born year the fittest time for festal cheer."

"When thinking about companions gone, we feel ourselves doubly alone."

"For success, attitude is equally as important as ability."

"Success or failure in business is caused more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities."

"He is the best sailor who can steer within fewest points of the wind, and exact a motive power out of the greatest obstacles."
