More quotes by Walter Scott
A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man's heart through half the year.
Walter Scott
True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven. It is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie, Which heart to heart, and mind to mind, In body and in soul can bind.
Walter Scott
Where, where was Roderick then? One blast upon his bugle horn Were worth a thousand men.
Walter Scott
My dear, be a good man be virtuous be religious be a good man. Nothing else will give you any comfort when you come to lie here. ...God bless you all.
Walter Scott
Sordid selfishness doth contract and narrow our benevolence, and cause us, like serpents, to infold ourselves within ourselves, and to turn out our stings to the entire world besides.
Walter Scott
The rose is fairest when 't is budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears. The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning dew, And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.
Walter Scott
Teach you children poetry it opens the mind, lends grace to wisdom and makes the heroic virtues hereditary.
Walter Scott
In prosperous times I have sometimes felt my fancy and powers of language flag, but adversity is to me at least a tonic and bracer.
Walter Scott
So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war, There never was knight like young Lochinvar.
Walter Scott
To the timid and hesitating everything is impossible because it seems so.
Walter Scott
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
Of all vices, drinking is the most incompatible with greatness.
Walter Scott
The willow which bends to the tempest often escapes better than the oak which resists it.
Walter Scott
I will but confess the sins of my green cloak to my grey friar's frock, and all shall be well again.
Walter Scott
No scene of mortal life but teems with mortal woe.
Walter Scott
Contentions fierce, Ardent, and dire, spring from no petty cause.
Walter Scott
Woman's faith and woman's trust, Write the characters in dust.
Walter Scott
I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives and I am quite satisfied it is in compassion to the human race for if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or twelve years, what would it be if they were to live double that time?
Walter Scott
Steady of heart and stout of hand.
Walter Scott
A sound head, an honest heart, and an humble spirit are the three best guides through time and to eternity.
Walter Scott
