Walter Scott
Hail to the Chief who in triumph advances!
Walter Scott
As hope and fear alternate chase Our course through life's uncertain race.
Walter Scott
We shall never learn to feel and respect our real calling and destiny, unless we have taught ourselves to consider every thing as moonshine, compared with the education of the heart.
Walter Scott
Cats are a mysterious kind of folk.
Walter Scott
Now, it is well known, that a man may with more impunity be guilty of an actual breach either of real good breeding or of good morals, than appear ignorant of the most minute point of fashionable etiquette.
Walter Scott
I like a highland friend who will stand by me not only when I am in the right, but when I am a little in the wrong.
Walter Scott
Some touch of Nature's genial glow.
Walter Scott
