Walter Scott
A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man's heart through half the year.
Walter Scott
O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!
Walter Scott
Land of my sires! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band That knits me to thy rugged strand!
Walter Scott
Here eglantine embalm'd the air, Hawthorne and hazel mingled there The primrose pale, and violet flower, Found in each cliff a narrow bower Fox-glove and nightshade, side by side, Emblems of punishment and pride, Group'd their dark hues with every stain The weather-beaten crags retain.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Fair play is a jewel.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Give me an honest laugher.
Walter Scott
Faces that have charmed us the most escape us the soonest.
Walter Scott
Come forth, old man,--thy daughter's side Is now the fitting place for thee: When time has quell'd the oak's bold pride, The youthful tendril yet may hide, The ruins of the parent tree.
Walter Scott
Love will subsist on wonderfully little hope but not altogether without it.
Walter Scott
It is more difficult to look upon victory than upon battle.
Walter Scott
