Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er.
Walter Scott
My dear, be a good man be virtuous be religious be a good man. Nothing else will give you any comfort when you come to lie here. ...God bless you all.
Walter Scott
Those who are too idle to read, save for the purpose of amusement, may in these works acquire some acquaintance with history, which, however inaccurate, is better than none.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Will future ages believe that such stupid bigotry ever existed!
Walter Scott
Who o'er the herd would wish to reign, Fantastic, fickle, fierce, and vain! Vain as the leaf upon the stream, And fickle as a changeful dream Fantastic as a woman's mood, And fierce as Frenzy's fever'd blood. Thou many-headed monster thing, Oh who would wish to be thy king!
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
A few drops sprinkled on the torch of love make the flame blaze the brighter.
Walter Scott
All is possible for those who dare to die!
Walter Scott
Here is neither want of appetite nor mouths, Pray heaven we be not scant of meat or mirth.
Walter Scott
Each must drain His share of pleasure, share of pain.
Walter Scott
Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land.
Walter Scott
A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man's heart through half the year.
Walter Scott
England was merry England, when Old Christmas brought his sports again. 'Twas Christmas broach'd the mightiest ale 'Twas Christmas told the merriest tale A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man's heart through half the year.
Walter Scott
Lambe them, lads! lambe them! a cant phrase of the time derived from the fate of Dr. Lambe, an astrologer and quack, who was knocked on the head by the rabble in Charles the First's time.
Walter Scott
Certainly, quoth Athelstane, women are the least to be trusted of all animals, monks and abbots excepted.
Walter Scott
No scene of mortal life but teems with mortal woe.
Walter Scott
Still from the sire the son shall hear Of the stern strife, and carnage drear, Of Flodden's fatal field, When shiver'd was fair Scotland's spear, And broken was her shield!
Walter Scott
Recollect that the Almighty, who gave the dog to be companion of our pleasures and our toils, hath invested him with a nature noble and incapable of deceit.
Walter Scott
Loud o'er my head though awful thunders roll, And vivid lightnings flash from pole to pole, Yet 'tis Thy voice, my God, that bids them fly, Thy arm directs those lightnings through the sky. Then let the good Thy mighty name revere, And hardened sinners Thy just vengeance fear.
Walter Scott
