Walter Scott
O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war, Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?
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

Walter Scott
All is possible for those who dare to die!
Walter Scott
As good play for nothing, you know, as work for nothing.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
The summer dawn's reflected hue To purple changed Lock Katrine blue, Mildly and soft the western breeze Just kiss'd the lake, just stirr'd the trees, And the pleased lake, like maiden coy, Trembled but dimpled not for joy.
Walter Scott
Tell that to the marines - the sailors won't believe it.
Walter Scott
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
I will but confess the sins of my green cloak to my grey friar's frock, and all shall be well again.
Walter Scott
I have heard men talk about the blessings of freedom, he said to himself, but I wish any wise man would teach me what use to make of it now that I have it.
Walter Scott
