Sir Walter Scott - Marmion, Canto vi. Stanza 17.

Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!
Sir Walter Scott
Oh, what tangled webs we weave, When we first practice to deceive.
Sir Walter Scott - The Betrothed
Too much rest is rust.
Sir Walter Scott
To be always intending to live a new life, but never find time to set about it - this is as if a man should put off eating and drinking from one day to another till he be starved and destroyed.
Sir Walter Scott
He that climbs the tall tree has won right to the fruit.
Sir Walter Scott - "Marmion"
Oh, the tangled webs we weave When we practice to deceive.
Sir Walter Scott
The will to do, the soul to dare.
Sir Walter Scott
To all, to each, a fair good night,
And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light.
Sir Walter Scott - Marmion (1808)
And come he slow, or come he fast,
It is but death who comes at last.

- Sir Walter Scott - Marmion, Canto vi. Stanza 17.
