Walter Scott
O! many a shaft, at random sent, Finds mark the archer little meant! And many a word, at random spoken, May soothe or wound a heart that's broken!
Walter Scott
The heart-sick faintness of the hope delayed!
Walter Scott
What skilful limner e'er would choose To paint the rainbow's varying hues, Unless to mortal it were given To dip his brush in dyes of heaven?
Walter Scott
A lawyer without history or literature is a mechanic, a mere working mason if he possesses some knowledge of these, he may venture to call himself an architect.
Walter Scott
Tell that to the marines - the sailors won't believe it.
Walter Scott
Woman's faith and woman's trust, Write the characters in dust.
Walter Scott
It 's no fish ye 're buying, it 's men's lives.
Walter Scott
