Ivanhoe Quotes by Sir Walter Scott

"Women are but the toys which amuse our lighter hours---ambition is the serious business of life." ~ Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott "Chivalry!---why, maiden, she is the nurse of pure and high affection---the stay of the oppressed, the redresser of grievances, the curb of the power of the tyrant ---Nobility were but an empty name without her, and liberty finds the best protection in her lance and her sword." ~ Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott "What remains?" cried Ivanhoe; "Glory, maiden, glory! which gilds our sepulchre and embalms our name." ~ Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott "You have power, rank, command, influence; we have wealth, the source both of our strength and weakness." ~ Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott Pride and jealousy there was in his eye, for his life had been spent in asserting rights which were constantly liable to invasion; and the prompt, fiery, and resolute disposition of the man, had been kept constantly upon the alert by the circumstances of his situation. ~ Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott
