Stood for his country's glory fast, And nailed her colors to the mast!
Walter Scott
Image
We do that in our zeal our calmer moment would be afraid to answer.
Walter Scott
Image
And children know, Instinctive taught, the friend and foe.
Walter Scott
Image
The summer dawn's reflected hue To purple changed Lock Katrine blue, Mildly and soft the western breeze Just kiss'd the lake, just stirr'd the trees, And the pleased lake, like maiden coy, Trembled but dimpled not for joy.
Walter Scott
Image
In love quarrels the party that loves the most is always most willing to acknowledge the greater fault.
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
Teach you children poetry it opens the mind, lends grace to wisdom and makes the heroic virtues hereditary.
Walter Scott
Image
Of all vices, drinking is the most incompatible with greatness.
Walter Scott
Image
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
Image
A fool's wild speech confounds the wise.
Walter Scott
Image
A good deal of philanthropy arises in general from mere vanity and love of distinction gilded over to others and to themselves with some show of benevolent sentiment.
Walter Scott
Image
As hope and fear alternate chase Our course through life's uncertain race.
Walter Scott
Image
I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives and I am quite satisfied it is in compassion to the human race for if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or twelve years, what would it be if they were to live double that time?
Walter Scott
Image
Good wine needs neither bush nor preface to make it welcome. And they drank the red wine through the helmet barr'd.
Walter Scott
Image
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Walter Scott
Image
When true friends meet in adverse hour 'Tis like a sunbeam through a shower. A watery way an instant seen, The darkly closing clouds between.
Walter Scott
Image
Well, then--our course is chosen--spread the sail-- Heave oft the lead, and mark the soundings well-- Look to the helm, good master--many a shoal Marks this stern coast, and rocks, where sits the Siren Who, like ambition, lures men to their ruin.
Walter Scott
Image
The paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Walter Scott
Image
Hard toil can roughen form and face, And want call quench the eye's bright grace.
Walter Scott
Image
Never was flattery lost on a poet's ear a simple race, they waste their toil for the vain tribute of a smile.
