Image
And better had they ne'er been born, Who read to doubt, or read to scorn.
Walter Scott
Image
All live by seeming. The beggar begs with it, and the gay courtier Gains land and title, rank and rule, by seeming The clergy scorn it not, and the bold soldier Will eke with it his service.--All admit it, All practise it and he who is content With showing what he is, shall have small credit In church, or camp, or state.--So wags the world.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Image

Walter Scott
Image
The happy combination of fortuitous circumstances.
Walter Scott
Image
In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's reed In war, he mounts the warrior's steed In halls, in gay attire is seen In hamlets, dances on the green. Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Walter Scott
Image
Mankind — the race would perish did they cease to aid each other.
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
The schoolmaster is termed, classically, Ludi Magister, because he deprives boys of their play.
Walter Scott
Image
When a man has not a good reason for doing a thing, he has one good reason for letting it alone.
Walter Scott
Image
Steady of heart and stout of hand.
Walter Scott
Image
As system virtualization becomes mainstream, IT managers will find a greater need for disk imaging for disaster recovery and systems deployment,.
Walter Scott
Image
Adversity is, to me at least, a tonic and a bracer.
Walter Scott
Image
Spur not an unbroken horse put not your plowshare too deep into new land.
Walter Scott
Image
One or two of these scoundrel statesmen should be shot once a-year, just to keep the others on their good behavior.
