More quotes by Walter Scott
To all, to each, a fair good-night, and pleasing dreams, and slumbers light.
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
But search the land of living men, Where wilt thou find their like again?
Walter Scott
November's sky is chill and drear, November's leaf is red and sear.
Walter Scott
Is death the last sleep? No, it is the last and final awakening.
Walter Scott
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
O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!
Walter Scott
Chess is a sad waste of brains.
