Quotes by Sir Walter Scott

The race of humankind would perish did they cease to aid each other.

"Saint George and the Dragon!-Bonny Saint George for Merry England!-The castle is won!"

So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war, There never was knight like young Lochinvar.

O!, many a shaft at random sent Finds mark the archer little meant! And many a word at random spoken May soothe, or wound, a heart that 's broken!

Woman's faith and woman's trust, Write the characters in dust.

The will to do, the soul to dare.

Widowed wife and wedded maid.

So wags the world.

If thou would'st view fair Melrose aright, Go visit it by the pale moonlight.

Vacant heart, and hand, and eye, Easy live and quiet die.
