As hope and fear alternate chase Our course through life's uncertain race.
Walter Scott
Image
Many a law, many a commandment have I broken, but my word never.
Walter Scott
Image
A sound head, an honest heart, and an humble spirit are the three best guides through time and to eternity.
Walter Scott
Image
Marry in haste, repent at leisure.
Walter Scott
Image
The time which passes over our heads so imperceptibly makes the same gradual change in habits, manners and character, as in personal appearance. At the revolution of every five years we find ourselves another and yet the same--there is a change of views, and no less of the light in which we regard them a change of motives as well as of action.
Walter Scott
Image
The race of mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. We cannot exist without mutual help. All therefore that need aid have a right to ask it from their fellow-men and no one who has the power of granting can refuse it without guilt.
Walter Scott

Saint George and the Dragon!-Bonny Saint George for Merry England!-The castle is won!
Walter Scott

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
Is death the last sleep? No, it is the last and final awakening.
Walter Scott
Image
True love's the gift which God has given to man alone beneath the heaven.

The most learned, acute, and diligent student cannot, in the longest life, obtain an entire knowledge of this one volume.
Walter Scott
Image
Sensibility is nature's celestial spring.
Walter Scott
Image
For Love will still be lord of all.
Walter Scott
Image
Thus aged men, full loth and slow, The vanities of life forego, And count their youthful follies o'er, Till Memory lends her light no more.
Walter Scott
Image
Covetousness bursts the sack and spills the grain.
Walter Scott
Image
Oh, Brignall banks are wild and fair, And Greta woods are green, And you may gather garlands there Would grace a summer's queen.
Walter Scott
Image
Merrily, merrily goes the bark On a breeze from the northward free, So shoots through the morning sky the lark, Or the swan through the summer sea.
Walter Scott
Image
Hail to the Chief who in triumph advances!
Walter Scott
