As long as the Fates permit, live cheerfully.
Walter Scott
Image
Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er, Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, Dream of battled fields no more. Days of danger, nights of waking.
Walter Scott
Image
A lawyer without history or literature is a mechanic, a mere working mason if he possesses some knowledge of these, he may venture to call himself an architect.
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
When Israel, of the Lord belov'd, Out of the land of bondage came, Her fathers' God before her mov'd, An awful guide in smoke and flame.
Walter Scott

Welcome as the flowers in May.
Walter Scott

Some touch of Nature's genial glow.
Walter Scott

Time rolls his ceaseless course.
Walter Scott
Image

Oh, poverty parts good company.
Walter Scott
Image
Then hush thee, my darling, take rest while you may, For strife comes with manhood, and waking with day.
Walter Scott
Image
Marry in haste, repent at leisure.
Walter Scott
Image
As good play for nothing, you know, as work for nothing.
Walter Scott
Image
What an ornament and safeguard is humor! Far better than wit for a poet and writer. It is a genius itself, and so defends from the insanities.
Walter Scott
Image
In the lost battle, Borne down by the flying, Where mingles war's rattle With groans of the dying.
Walter Scott
Image
The sickening pang of hope deferr'd.
Walter Scott
Image
Mellow nuts have the hardest rind.
Walter Scott
Image
It is a great disgrace to religion, to imagine that it is an enemy to mirth and cheerfulness, and a severe exacter of pensive looks and solemn faces.
