Walter Scott
For love is heaven and heaven is love.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
I envy thee not thy faith, which is ever in thy mouth but never in thy heart nor in thy practice

Walter Scott
My foot is on my native heath, and my name is MacGregor.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
The rose is fairest when 't is budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears. The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning dew, And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.
Walter Scott
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Walter Scott
Ridicule, the weapon of all others most feared by enthusiasts of every description, and which from its predominance over such minds, often checks what is absurd, and fully as often smothers that which is noble.
Walter Scott
In listening mood she seemed to stand, The guardian Naiad of the strand.
Walter Scott
O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war, Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?
Walter Scott
Real valor consists not in being insensible to danger but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.
Walter Scott
