More quotes by Walter Scott
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
Adversity is, to me at least, a tonic and a bracer.
Walter Scott
True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven: It is not fantasy's hot fire, Whose wishes soon as granted fly It liveth not in fierce desire.
Walter Scott
In that pleasant district of merry England which is watered by the river Don, there extended in ancient times a large forest, covering the greater part of the beautiful hills and valleys which lie between Sheffield and the pleasant town of Doncaster.
Walter Scott
War is the only game in which both sides lose.
Walter Scott
We often praise the evening clouds, And tints so gay and bold, But seldom think upon our God, Who tinged these clouds with gold.
Walter Scott
Hard toil can roughen form and face, And want call quench the eye's bright grace.
Walter Scott
Is death the last sleep? No, it is the last and final awakening.
Walter Scott
Without courage there cannot be truth, and without truth there can be no other virtue.
Walter Scott
Faces that have charmed us the most escape us the soonest.
Walter Scott
He that follows the advice of reason has a mind that is elevated above the reach of injury that sits above the clouds, in a calm and quiet ether, and with a brave indifferency hears the rolling thunders grumble and burst under his feet.
Walter Scott
Mellow nuts have the hardest rind.
Walter Scott
Look at a gown of gold, and you will at least get a sleeve of it.
Walter Scott
Tell that to the marines - the sailors won't believe it.
Walter Scott
Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.
Walter Scott
Honour is a homicide and a bloodspiller, that gangs about making frays in the street but Credit is a decent honest man, that sits at hame and makes the pat play.
Walter Scott
Thou hast had thty day, old dame, but thy sun has long been set. Thou art now the very emblem of an old warhorse turned out on the barren heath thou hast had thy paces in thy time, but now a broken amble is the best of them.
Walter Scott
One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name
Walter Scott
Real valor consists not in being insensible to danger but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.
Walter Scott
What can they see in the longest kingly line in Europe, save that it runs back to a successful soldier?
Walter Scott
