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
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, morn of toil, nor night of waking.
Walter Scott
Image
Fair play is a jewel.
Walter Scott
Image
No scene of mortal life but teems with mortal woe.
Walter Scott

Some touch of Nature's genial glow.
Walter Scott
Image
Faces that have charmed us the most escape us the soonest.
Walter Scott
Image
Methinks I will not die quite happy without having seen something of that Rome of which I have read so much.
Walter Scott
Image
Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can, Come saddle your horses, and call up your men Come open the West Port, and let me gang free, And it's room for the bonnets of Bonny Dundee!
Walter Scott
Image
Silence, maiden thy tongue outruns thy discretion.
Walter Scott
Image
Profan'd the God-given strength, and marr'd the lofty line.
Walter Scott
Image
The tear, down childhood's cheek that flows, Is like the dewdrop on the rose When next the summer breeze comes by And waves the bush, the flower is dry.
Walter Scott
Image
Tears are the softening showers which cause the seed of heaven to spring up in the human heart.
Walter Scott
Image
The time which passes over our heads so imperceptibly makes the same gradual change in habits, manners and character, as in personal appearance. At the revolution of every five years we find ourselves another and yet the same--there is a change of views, and no less of the light in which we regard them a change of motives as well as of action.
Walter Scott
Image
True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven. It is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie, Which heart to heart, and mind to mind, In body and in soul can bind.
Walter Scott
Image
On his bold visage middle age Had slightly press'd its signet sage, Yet had not quench'd the open truth And fiery vehemence of youth: Forward and frolic glee was there, The will to do, the soul to dare.
Walter Scott
Image
To the timid and hesitating everything is impossible because it seems so.
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
Thou and I are but the blind instruments of some irresistible fatality, that hurries us along, like goodly vessels driving before the storm, which are dashed against each other, and so perish.
Walter Scott
Image
Merrily, merrily goes the bark On a breeze from the northward free, So shoots through the morning sky the lark, Or the swan through the summer sea.
Walter Scott

Caution comes too late when we are in the midst of evils.
