Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love.

...crystal and hearts would lose all their merit in the world if it were not for their fragility.
Walter Scott
Image
Oh, on that day, that wrathful day, When man to judgment wakes front clay, Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay, Though heaven and earth shall pass away.
Walter Scott
Image
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Walter Scott
Image
I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives and I am quite satisfied it is in compassion to the human race for if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or twelve years, what would it be if they were to live double that time?
Walter Scott
Image
Mellow nuts have the hardest rind.
Walter Scott
Image
November's sky is chill and drear, November's leaf is red and sear.
Walter Scott
Image
Profan'd the God-given strength, and marr'd the lofty line.
Walter Scott
Image
O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war, Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?
Walter Scott
Image
Cats are a mysterious kind of folk.
Walter Scott
Image
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.
Walter Scott
Image
A ruin should always be protected but never repaired - thus may we witness full the lingering legacies of the past.
Walter Scott
Image
It 's no fish ye 're buying, it 's men's lives.
Walter Scott
Image
Faces that have charmed us the most escape us the soonest.
Walter Scott
Image
O! many a shaft, at random sent, Finds mark the archer little meant! And many a word, at random spoken, May soothe or wound a heart that's broken!
Walter Scott
Image
When thinking about companions gone, we feel ourselves doubly alone.
Walter Scott
Image
The tear, down childhood's cheek that flows, Is like the dewdrop on the rose When next the summer breeze comes by And waves the bush, the flower is dry.
Walter Scott
Image
Teach self-denial and make its practice pleasure, and you can create for the world a destiny more sublime that ever issued from the brain of the wildest dreamer.
Walter Scott
Image
True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven. It is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie, Which heart to heart, and mind to mind, In body and in soul can bind.
Walter Scott
Image
He hath a share of man's intelligence, but no share of man's falsehood.
Walter Scott
Image
Some touch of Nature's genial glow.
