Necessity--thou best of peacemakers, As well as surest prompter of invention.
Walter Scott
Image
Whose lenient sorrows find relief, whose joys are chastened by their grief.
Walter Scott
Image
O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war, Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?
Walter Scott
Image
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.
Walter Scott

Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er, Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, Dream of battled fields no more. Days of danger, nights of waking.
Walter Scott
Image

Walter Scott
Image
Teach self-denial and make its practice pleasure, and you can create for the world a destiny more sublime that ever issued from the brain of the wildest dreamer.
Walter Scott
Image
It is only when I dally with what I am about, look back and aside, instead of keeping my eyes straight forward, that I feel these cold sinkings of the heart.
Walter Scott
Image
Well, then--our course is chosen--spread the sail-- Heave oft the lead, and mark the soundings well-- Look to the helm, good master--many a shoal Marks this stern coast, and rocks, where sits the Siren Who, like ambition, lures men to their ruin.
Walter Scott
Image
God forgive me for having thought it possible that a schoolmaster could be out and out a rational being.
Walter Scott
Image
It is the privilege of tale-tellers to open their story in an inn, the free rendezvous of all travellers, and where the humour of each displays itself, without ceremony or restraint.
Walter Scott
Image
Time rolls his ceaseless course.
Walter Scott
Image
Merrily, merrily goes the bark On a breeze from the northward free, So shoots through the morning sky the lark, Or the swan through the summer sea.
