If you keep a thing seven years, you are sure to find a use for it.
Walter Scott
Image
In that pleasant district of merry England which is watered by the river Don, there extended in ancient times a large forest, covering the greater part of the beautiful hills and valleys which lie between Sheffield and the pleasant town of Doncaster.
Walter Scott
Image
Now, it is well known, that a man may with more impunity be guilty of an actual breach either of real good breeding or of good morals, than appear ignorant of the most minute point of fashionable etiquette.
Walter Scott
Image
There is a vulgar incredulity, which in historical matters, as well as in those of religion, finds it easier to doubt than to examine.
Walter Scott
Image
All live by seeming. The beggar begs with it, and the gay courtier Gains land and title, rank and rule, by seeming The clergy scorn it not, and the bold soldier Will eke with it his service.--All admit it, All practise it and he who is content With showing what he is, shall have small credit In church, or camp, or state.--So wags the world.
Walter Scott
Image
Call it not vain: they do not err Who say that when the poet dies Mute Nature mourns her worshipper, And celebrates his obsequies.
Walter Scott
Image
The paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Walter Scott
Image
Silence, maiden thy tongue outruns thy discretion.
Walter Scott
Image
O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood Land of the mountain and the flood!
Walter Scott
Image
Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er.
Walter Scott
Image
Here is neither want of appetite nor mouths, Pray heaven we be not scant of meat or mirth.
Walter Scott
Image
Faces that have charmed us the most escape us the soonest.
Walter Scott
Image
Literature is a great staff, but a very sorry crutch.
Walter Scott
Image
The willow which bends to the tempest often escapes better than the oak which resists it.
Walter Scott
Image
The most learned, acute, and diligent student cannot, in the longest life, obtain an entire knowledge of this one volume.
Walter Scott
Image
Land of my sires! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band That knits me to thy rugged strand!
Walter Scott
Image
Come forth, old man,--thy daughter's side Is now the fitting place for thee: When time has quell'd the oak's bold pride, The youthful tendril yet may hide, The ruins of the parent tree.
Walter Scott
Image
A thousand fearful images and dire suggestions glance along the mind when it is moody and discontented with itself. Command them to stand and show themselves, and you presently assert the power of reason over imagination.
Walter Scott
Image
For Love will still be lord of all.
Walter Scott
Image
Look at a gown of gold, and you will at least get a sleeve of it.
