Earth walks on Earth, Glittering in gold Earth goes to Earth, Sooner than it wold Earth builds on Earth, Palaces and towers Earth says to Earth, Soon, all shall be ours.

Walter Scott
Image
Fight on, brave knights! Man dies, but glory lives! Fight on death is better than defeat! Fight on brave knights! for bright eyes behold your deeds!
Walter Scott

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

Walter Scott
Image
So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war, There never was knight like young Lochinvar.
Walter Scott
Image
Do not Christians and Heathens, and Jews and Gentiles, and poets and philosophers, unite in allowing the starry influences?
Walter Scott
Image
As hope and fear alternate chase Our course through life's uncertain race.
Walter Scott
Image
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
Image
Will future ages believe that such stupid bigotry ever existed!
Walter Scott
Image
November's sky is chill and drear, November's leaf is red and sear.
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
Sensibility is nature's celestial spring.
Walter Scott
Image
We often praise the evening clouds, And tints so gay and bold, But seldom think upon our God, Who tinged these clouds with gold.
Walter Scott
Image
God in his goodness sent the grapes To cheer both great and small Little fools will drink too much And great fools none at all!
Walter Scott
Image
The pith of conversation does not consist in exhibiting your own superior knowledge on matters of small consequence, but in enlarging, improving and correcting the information you possess by the authority of others.
Walter Scott
Image
A sound head, an honest heart, and an humble spirit are the three best guides through time and to eternity.
Walter Scott
Image
In the lost battle, Borne down by the flying, Where mingles war's rattle With groans of the dying.
Walter Scott
