Look not thou on beauty's charming Sit thou still when kings are arming Taste not when the wine-cup glistens Speak not when the people listens
Walter Scott

Certainly, quoth Athelstane, women are the least to be trusted of all animals, monks and abbots excepted.
Walter Scott
Image
I'll dream no more--by mainly mind Not even in sleep is well resigned. My midnight orisons said o'er, I'll turn to rest and dream no more.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott

Well, then--our course is chosen--spread the sail-- Heave oft the lead, and mark the soundings well-- Look to the helm, good master--many a shoal Marks this stern coast, and rocks, where sits the Siren Who, like ambition, lures men to their ruin.
Walter Scott
Image
Time rolls his ceaseless course.
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
Great talent has always a little madness mixed up with it.
Walter Scott
Image
The paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Walter Scott

Blud's thicker than water.
Walter Scott
Image
He turn'd his charger as he spake, Upon the river shore, He gave his bridle reins a shake, Said, Adieu for evermore, my love, And adieu for evermore.
Walter Scott
Image
We shall never learn to feel and respect our real calling and destiny, unless we have taught ourselves to consider every thing as moonshine, compared with the education of the heart.
Walter Scott
Image
For monarchs seldom sigh in vain.
