Walter Scott
Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.
Walter Scott
Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can, Come saddle your horses, and call up your men Come open the West Port, and let me gang free, And it's room for the bonnets of Bonny Dundee!

Walter Scott
But woe awaits a country when She sees the tears of bearded men.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
A fool's wild speech confounds the wise.
Walter Scott
Good wine needs neither bush nor preface to make it welcome. And they drank the red wine through the helmet barr'd.
Walter Scott
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
I was born a Scotsman and a bare one. Therefore I was born to fight my way in the world.
Walter Scott
Tears are the softening showers which cause the seed of heaven to spring up in the human heart.
Walter Scott
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
I will tear this folly from my heart, though every fibre bleed as I rend it away!
Walter Scott
In man's most dark extremity Oft succour dawns from Heaven.
Walter Scott
Faces that have charmed us the most escape us the soonest.
Walter Scott
