Image
High minds, of native pride and force, Most deeply feel thy pangs, Remorse Fear, for their scourge, means villains have, Thou art the torturer of the brave!
Walter Scott
Image
Where shall the lover rest, Whom the fates sever From his true maiden's breast, Parted for ever? Where, through groves deep and high, Sounds the far billow, Where early violets die, Under the willow.
Walter Scott
Image
The schoolmaster is termed, classically, Ludi Magister, because he deprives boys of their play.
Walter Scott
Image
When true friends meet in adverse hour 'Tis like a sunbeam through a shower. A watery way an instant seen, The darkly closing clouds between.
Walter Scott
Image
There is a vulgar incredulity, which in historical matters, as well as in those of religion, finds it easier to doubt than to examine.
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.
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
Tears are the softening showers which cause the seed of heaven to spring up in the human heart.
Walter Scott
Image
Some touch of Nature's genial glow.
Walter Scott
Image
Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth, When thought is speech, and speech is truth.
Walter Scott
Image
The lover's pleasure, like that of the hunter, is in the chase, and the brightest beauty loses half its merit, as the flower its perfume, when the willing hand can reach it too easily. There must be doubt there must be difficulty and danger.
Walter Scott
Image
Where, where was Roderick then? One blast upon his bugle horn Were worth a thousand men.
Walter Scott
Image
Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er.
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
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
Image
Where lives the man that has not tried How mirth can into folly glide, And folly into sin!
Walter Scott
Image
The sickening pang of hope deferr'd.
Walter Scott
Image
come he slow or come he fast it is but death that comes at last
Walter Scott
Image
In the name of God! said Gurth, how came they prisoners? and to whom? Our master was too ready to fight, said the Jester, and Athelstane was not ready enough, and no other person was ready at all.
