Then hush thee, my darling, take rest while you may, For strife comes with manhood, and waking with day.

Walter Scott
Hope is brightest when it dawns from fears.
Walter Scott
'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
Although too much of a soldier among sovereigns, no one could claim with better right to be a sovereign among soldiers.
Walter Scott
He that would soothe sorrow must not argue on the vanity of the most deceitful hopes.
Walter Scott
Guilt, though it may attain temporal splendor, can never confer real happiness the evil consequences of our crimes long survive their commission, and, like the ghosts of the murdered, forever haunt the steps of the malefactor while the paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Walter Scott
Where lives the man that has not tried How mirth can into folly glide, And folly into sin!
Walter Scott
