Walter Scott
Image
Thou and I are but the blind instruments of some irresistible fatality, that hurries us along, like goodly vessels driving before the storm, which are dashed against each other, and so perish.
Walter Scott
Image
Mystery has great charms for womanhood.
Walter Scott
Image
As long as the Fates permit, live cheerfully.
Walter Scott
Image
Vacant heart, and hand, and eye, Easy live and quiet die.
Walter Scott

And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.
Walter Scott
Image
Hard toil can roughen form and face, And want call quench the eye's bright grace.
Walter Scott
Image
Love, to her ear, was but a name, Combin'd with vanity and shame Her hopes, her fears, her joys, were all Bounded within the cloister wall.
Walter Scott
Image
Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.
Walter Scott
Image
Every hour has its end.
