Image
Women are but the toys which amuse our lighter hours---ambition is the serious business of life.
Walter Scott
Image
Lightly from fair to fair he flew, And loved to plead, lament, and sue Suit lightly won, and short-lived pain, For monarchs seldom sigh in vain.
Walter Scott
Image
Some touch of Nature's genial glow.
Walter Scott
Image
In the name of God! said Gurth, how came they prisoners? and to whom? Our master was too ready to fight, said the Jester, and Athelstane was not ready enough, and no other person was ready at all.
Walter Scott
Image
Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land.

Sensibility is nature's celestial spring.
Walter Scott
Image
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
Image
We are like the herb which flourisheth most when it is most trampled on.
Walter Scott

Honour is a homicide and a bloodspiller, that gangs about making frays in the street but Credit is a decent honest man, that sits at hame and makes the pat play.
Walter Scott
Image
Affection can withstand very severe storms of vigor, but not a long polar frost of indifference.
Walter Scott
Image
Chivalry!---why, maiden, she is the nurse of pure and high affection---the stay of the oppressed, the redresser of grievances, the curb of the power of the tyrant ---Nobility were but an empty name without her, and liberty finds the best protection in her lance and her sword.
Walter Scott
Image
If you once turn on your side after the hour at which you ought to rise, it is all over. Bolt up at once.
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
Image
Great talent has always a little madness mixed up with it.
Walter Scott
Image
'Tis an old tale, and often told But did my fate and wish agree, Ne'er had been read, in story old, Of maiden true betray'd for gold, That loved, or was avenged, like me!
Walter Scott
Image
Fair play is a jewel.
Walter Scott

Steady of heart and stout of hand.
