Walter Scott
All is possible for those who dare to die!
Walter Scott
The heart-sick faintness of the hope delayed!
Walter Scott
Love will subsist on wonderfully little hope but not altogether without it.
Walter Scott
But woe awaits a country when She sees the tears of bearded men.
Walter Scott
I will but confess the sins of my green cloak to my grey friar's frock, and all shall be well again.
Walter Scott
Where is the coward that would not dare to fight for such a land as Scotland?
Walter Scott
Never was flattery lost on a poet's ear a simple race, they waste their toil for the vain tribute of a smile.
Walter Scott
