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
Mankind — the race would perish did they cease to aid each other.
Walter Scott
Sensibility is nature's celestial spring.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
My dear, be a good man be virtuous be religious be a good man. Nothing else will give you any comfort when you come to lie here. ...God bless you all.
Walter Scott
And children know, Instinctive taught, the friend and foe.
Walter Scott
I am she, O most bucolical juvenal, under whose charge are placed the milky mothers of the herd.

Walter Scott
It was in the beginning of the month of November, 17--, when a young English gentleman, who had just left the university of Oxford, made use of the liberty afforded him, to visit some parts of the north of England and curiosity extended his tour into the adjacent frontier of the sister country.
Walter Scott
Credit is like a looking-glass, which when once sullied by a breath, may be wiped clear again but if once cracked can never be repaired.
Walter Scott
What a strange scene if the surge of conversation could suddenly ebb like the tide, and show us the real state of people's minds.
Walter Scott
Discretion is the perfection of reason, and a guide to us in all the duties of life.
Walter Scott
Where is the coward that would not dare to fight for such a land as Scotland?
Walter Scott
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
Hope is brightest when it dawns from fears.
Walter Scott
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.
