For deadly fear can time outgo, and blanch at once the hair.
Walter Scott
Image
Thou hast had thty day, old dame, but thy sun has long been set. Thou art now the very emblem of an old warhorse turned out on the barren heath thou hast had thy paces in thy time, but now a broken amble is the best of them.
Walter Scott
Image
And children know, Instinctive taught, the friend and foe.
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
We build statues out of snow, and weep to see them melt.
Walter Scott

Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, morn of toil, nor night of waking.
Walter Scott
Image
Oh, on that day, that wrathful day, When man to judgment wakes front clay, Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay, Though heaven and earth shall pass away.
Walter Scott
Image
Teach self-denial and make its practice pleasure, and you can create for the world a destiny more sublime that ever issued from the brain of the wildest dreamer.
Walter Scott
Image
As hope and fear alternate chase Our course through life's uncertain race.
Walter Scott
Image
In prosperous times I have sometimes felt my fancy and powers of language flag, but adversity is to me at least a tonic and bracer.
Walter Scott
Image
Whose lenient sorrows find relief, whose joys are chastened by their grief.
Walter Scott
Image
Threatened folk live long.
Walter Scott
Image
I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives and I am quite satisfied it is in compassion to the human race for if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or twelve years, what would it be if they were to live double that time?
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
Commend me to sterling honesty though clad in rags.
Walter Scott
Image
Look at a gown of gold, and you will at least get a sleeve of it.
Walter Scott
Image
What I have to say is far more important than how long my eyelashes are.
Walter Scott
Image
If a faultless poem could be produced, I am satisfied it would tire the critics themselves and annoy the whole reading world with the spleen.
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
If a farmer fills his barn with grain, he gets mice. If he leaves it empty, he gets actors.
