Image
Stood for his country's glory fast, And nailed her colors to the mast!
Walter Scott
Image
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, morn of toil, nor night of waking.
Walter Scott
Image
Come forth, old man,--thy daughter's side Is now the fitting place for thee: When time has quell'd the oak's bold pride, The youthful tendril yet may hide, The ruins of the parent tree.
Walter Scott
Image
O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood Land of the mountain and the flood!
Walter Scott
Image
Greatness of any kind has no greater foe than a habit of drinking.
Walter Scott
Image
I'll dream no more--by mainly mind Not even in sleep is well resigned. My midnight orisons said o'er, I'll turn to rest and dream no more.
Walter Scott
Image

A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man's heart through half the year.
Walter Scott
Image
For love is heaven and heaven is love.
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.
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
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
In love quarrels the party that loves the most is always most willing to acknowledge the greater fault.
Walter Scott
Image
Cats are a mysterious kind of folk.
Walter Scott
Image
The rose is fairest when 't is budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears. The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning dew, And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.
Walter Scott
Image
Look at a gown of gold, and you will at least get a sleeve of it.
Walter Scott
Image
It is more difficult to look upon victory than upon battle.
Walter Scott
Image
Chivalry!---why, maiden, she is the nurse of pure and high affection---the stay of the oppressed, the redresser of grievances, the curb of the power of the tyrant ---Nobility were but an empty name without her, and liberty finds the best protection in her lance and her sword.
Walter Scott

Without courage there cannot be truth, and without truth there can be no other virtue.
Walter Scott
