More quotes by Walter Scott
Art thou a friend to Roderick?
Walter Scott
In listening mood she seemed to stand, The guardian Naiad of the strand.
Walter Scott
As long as the Fates permit, live cheerfully.
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
Call it not vain: they do not err Who say that when the poet dies Mute Nature mourns her worshipper, And celebrates his obsequies.
Walter Scott
What skilful limner e'er would choose To paint the rainbow's varying hues, Unless to mortal it were given To dip his brush in dyes of heaven?
Walter Scott
In love quarrels the party that loves the most is always most willing to acknowledge the greater fault.
Walter Scott
Some touch of Nature's genial glow.
Walter Scott
We build statues out of snow, and weep to see them melt.
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
Earth walks on Earth, Glittering in gold Earth goes to Earth, Sooner than it wold Earth builds on Earth, Palaces and towers Earth says to Earth, Soon, all shall be ours.
Walter Scott
Greatness of any kind has no greater foe than a habit of drinking.
Walter Scott
All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education.
Walter Scott
Charge, Chester, charge! on, Stanley, on! Were the last words of Marmion.
Walter Scott
Chivalry!---why, maiden, she is the nurse of pure and high affection---the stay of the oppressed, the redresser of grievances, the curb of the power of the tyrant ---Nobility were but an empty name without her, and liberty finds the best protection in her lance and her sword.
Walter Scott
Tell that to the marines - the sailors won't believe it.
Walter Scott
The chain of friendship, however bright, does not stand the attrition of constant close contact.
Walter Scott
Land of my sires! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band That knits me to thy rugged strand!
Walter Scott
It is only when I dally with what I am about, look back and aside, instead of keeping my eyes straight forward, that I feel these cold sinkings of the heart.
Walter Scott
Necessity--thou best of peacemakers, As well as surest prompter of invention.
Walter Scott
