Walter Scott

"Faces that have charmed us the most escape us the soonest."

"One crowded hour of glorious life Is worth an age without a name."

"When thinking about companions gone, we feel ourselves doubly alone."

"Teach your children poetry; it opens the mind, lends grace to wisdom and makes the heroic virtues hereditary."

"So wondrous wild, the whole might seemthe scenery of a fairy dream."

"Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, and men below, and the saints above, for love is heaven, and heaven is love."
