Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott

My foot is on my native heath, and my name is MacGregor.
Walter Scott
Image
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
Image
I will tear this folly from my heart, though every fibre bleed as I rend it away!
Walter Scott
Image
Each age has deemed the new-born year the fittest time for festal cheer.
Walter Scott
Image
Fortune may raise up or abuse the ordinary mortal, but the sage and the soldier should have minds beyond her control.
Walter Scott
Image
For Love will still be lord of all.
Walter Scott
