Hail to the Chief who in triumph advances!
Walter Scott
Look at a gown of gold, and you will at least get a sleeve of it.
Walter Scott
We do that in our zeal our calmer moment would be afraid to answer.
Walter Scott
Time rolls his ceaseless course.
Walter Scott
For monarchs seldom sigh in vain.
Walter Scott
If a farmer fills his barn with grain, he gets mice. If he leaves it empty, he gets actors.
Walter Scott
Credit is like a looking-glass, which when once sullied by a breath, may be wiped clear again but if once cracked can never be repaired.
Walter Scott
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
God forgive me for having thought it possible that a schoolmaster could be out and out a rational being.
Walter Scott
Tell that to the marines - the sailors won't believe it.
Walter Scott
Here eglantine embalm'd the air, Hawthorne and hazel mingled there The primrose pale, and violet flower, Found in each cliff a narrow bower Fox-glove and nightshade, side by side, Emblems of punishment and pride, Group'd their dark hues with every stain The weather-beaten crags retain.
Walter Scott
O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!
Walter Scott
He turn'd his charger as he spake, Upon the river shore, He gave his bridle reins a shake, Said, Adieu for evermore, my love, And adieu for evermore.
Walter Scott
All is possible for those who dare to die!
Walter Scott
Ridicule, the weapon of all others most feared by enthusiasts of every description, and which from its predominance over such minds, often checks what is absurd, and fully as often smothers that which is noble.
Walter Scott
A mother's pride, a father's joy.
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
Her blue eyes sought the west afar, For lovers love the western star.
Walter Scott
Some touch of Nature's genial glow.
Walter Scott
If a faultless poem could be produced, I am satisfied it would tire the critics themselves and annoy the whole reading world with the spleen.
Walter Scott
