Where is the coward that would not dare to fight for such a land as Scotland?
Walter Scott
We often praise the evening clouds, And tints so gay and bold, But seldom think upon our God, Who tinged these clouds with gold.
Walter Scott
Sleep in peace, and wake in joy.
Walter Scott
Land of my sires! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band That knits me to thy rugged strand!
Walter Scott
It is only when I dally with what I am about, look back and aside, instead of keeping my eyes straight forward, that I feel these cold sinkings of the heart.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er, Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, Dream of battled fields no more. Days of danger, nights of waking.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Like the dew on the mountain, like the foam on the river, like the bubble on the fountain, thou art gone, and for ever!
Walter Scott
Loud o'er my head though awful thunders roll, And vivid lightnings flash from pole to pole, Yet 'tis Thy voice, my God, that bids them fly, Thy arm directs those lightnings through the sky. Then let the good Thy mighty name revere, And hardened sinners Thy just vengeance fear.
Walter Scott
The sun never sets on the immense empire of Charles V.
Walter Scott
Of all vices, drinking is the most incompatible with greatness.
Walter Scott
When a man has not a good reason for doing a thing, he has one good reason for letting it alone.
Walter Scott
Lightly from fair to fair he flew, And loved to plead, lament, and sue Suit lightly won, and short-lived pain, For monarchs seldom sigh in vain.
Walter Scott
come he slow or come he fast it is but death that comes at last
Walter Scott
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
As hope and fear alternate chase Our course through life's uncertain race.
Walter Scott
One or two of these scoundrel statesmen should be shot once a-year, just to keep the others on their good behavior.
Walter Scott
