More quotes by Walter Scott
Greatness of any kind has no greater foe than a habit of drinking.
Walter Scott
Blessed be his name, who hath appointed the quiet night to follow the busy day, and the calm sleep to refresh the wearied limbs and to compose the troubled spirit.
Walter Scott
The way was long, the wind was cold, The Minstrel was infirm and old His withered cheek, and tresses gray, Seemed to have know a better day.
Walter Scott
Heaven know its time the bullet has its billet
Walter Scott
Success - keeping your mind awake and your desire asleep.

Walter Scott
Caution comes too late when we are in the midst of evils.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Recollect that the Almighty, who gave the dog to be companion of our pleasures and our toils, hath invested him with a nature noble and incapable of deceit.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
A thousand fearful images and dire suggestions glance along the mind when it is moody and discontented with itself. Command them to stand and show themselves, and you presently assert the power of reason over imagination.
Walter Scott
The playbill, which is said to have announced the tragedy of Hamlet, the character of the Prince of Denmark being left out.
Walter Scott
Great talent has always a little madness mixed up with it.
Walter Scott
Where, where was Roderick then? One blast upon his bugle horn Were worth a thousand men.
Walter Scott
A sinful heart makes feeble hand.
Walter Scott
What an ornament and safeguard is humor! Far better than wit for a poet and writer. It is a genius itself, and so defends from the insanities.
Walter Scott
I have heard men talk about the blessings of freedom, he said to himself, but I wish any wise man would teach me what use to make of it now that I have it.
Walter Scott
