Image
I like a highland friend who will stand by me not only when I am in the right, but when I am a little in the wrong.
Walter Scott
Image
All live by seeming. The beggar begs with it, and the gay courtier Gains land and title, rank and rule, by seeming The clergy scorn it not, and the bold soldier Will eke with it his service.--All admit it, All practise it and he who is content With showing what he is, shall have small credit In church, or camp, or state.--So wags the world.
Walter Scott
Image
Real valor consists not in being insensible to danger but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.
Walter Scott
Image
Oh, poverty parts good company.
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
In the name of God! said Gurth, how came they prisoners? and to whom? Our master was too ready to fight, said the Jester, and Athelstane was not ready enough, and no other person was ready at all.
Walter Scott
Image
Necessity--thou best of peacemakers, As well as surest prompter of invention.
Walter Scott
Image
Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land.
Walter Scott
Image
Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er.
Walter Scott
Image
Here is neither want of appetite nor mouths, Pray heaven we be not scant of meat or mirth.
Walter Scott
Image
In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's reed In war, he mounts the warrior's steed In halls, in gay attire is seen In hamlets, dances on the green. Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Walter Scott
Image
Blessed be his name, who hath appointed the quiet night to follow the busy day, and the calm sleep to refresh the wearied limbs and to compose the troubled spirit.
Walter Scott
Image
The pith of conversation does not consist in exhibiting your own superior knowledge on matters of small consequence, but in enlarging, improving and correcting the information you possess by the authority of others.
Walter Scott
Image
Heap on more wood! - the wind is chill But let it whistle as it will, We'll keep our Christmas merry still.
Walter Scott
Image
He turn'd his charger as he spake, Upon the river shore, He gave his bridle reins a shake, Said, Adieu for evermore, my love, And adieu for evermore.
Walter Scott
Image
Woe to the youth whom Fancy gains, Winning from Reason's hand the reins, Pity and woe! for such a mind Is soft contemplative, and kind.
Walter Scott
Image
On his bold visage middle age Had slightly press'd its signet sage, Yet had not quench'd the open truth And fiery vehemence of youth: Forward and frolic glee was there, The will to do, the soul to dare.
Walter Scott
Image
No scene of mortal life but teems with mortal woe.
Walter Scott
Image
The chain of friendship, however bright, does not stand the attrition of constant close contact.
Walter Scott
Image
Success - keeping your mind awake and your desire asleep.
