More quotes by Walter Scott

Image
Hope is brightest when it dawns from fears.
Walter Scott
Image
Come forth, old man,--thy daughter's side Is now the fitting place for thee: When time has quell'd the oak's bold pride, The youthful tendril yet may hide, The ruins of the parent tree.
Walter Scott
Image
He that would soothe sorrow must not argue on the vanity of the most deceitful hopes.
Walter Scott
Image
The time which passes over our heads so imperceptibly makes the same gradual change in habits, manners and character, as in personal appearance. At the revolution of every five years we find ourselves another and yet the same--there is a change of views, and no less of the light in which we regard them a change of motives as well as of action.
Walter Scott
Image
Loud o'er my head though awful thunders roll, And vivid lightnings flash from pole to pole, Yet 'tis Thy voice, my God, that bids them fly, Thy arm directs those lightnings through the sky. Then let the good Thy mighty name revere, And hardened sinners Thy just vengeance fear.
Walter Scott
Image
I will but confess the sins of my green cloak to my grey friar's frock, and all shall be well again.
Walter Scott
Image
I like a highland friend who will stand by me not only when I am in the right, but when I am a little in the wrong.
Walter Scott
Image
The lover's pleasure, like that of the hunter, is in the chase, and the brightest beauty loses half its merit, as the flower its perfume, when the willing hand can reach it too easily. There must be doubt there must be difficulty and danger.
Walter Scott
Image
Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can, Come saddle your horses, and call up your men Come open the West Port, and let me gang free, And it's room for the bonnets of Bonny Dundee!
Walter Scott
Image
Revenge, the sweetest morsel to the mouth that ever was cooked in hell.
Walter Scott
Image
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
Image
Will future ages believe that such stupid bigotry ever existed!
Walter Scott
Image
Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er.
Walter Scott
Image
Warriors! and where are warriors found, If not on martial Britain's ground? And who, when waked with note of fire, Love more than they the British lyre?
Walter Scott
Image
A sound head, an honest heart, and an humble spirit are the three best guides through time and to eternity.
Walter Scott
Image
Oh, poverty parts good company.
Walter Scott
Image
Woman's faith and woman's trust, Write the characters in dust.
Walter Scott
Image
Fair play is a jewel.
Walter Scott
Image
Women are but the toys which amuse our lighter hours---ambition is the serious business of life.
Walter Scott
Image
Success or failure in business is caused more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities.
Walter Scott
