More quotes by Walter Scott
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Walter Scott
I was born a Scotsman and a bare one. Therefore I was born to fight my way in the world.
Walter Scott
A mother's pride, a father's joy.
Walter Scott
Many of our cares are but a morbid way of looking at our privileges
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
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
See yonder rock from which the fountain gushes is it less compact of adamant, though waters flow from it? Firm hearts have moister eyes.
Walter Scott
O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood Land of the mountain and the flood!
Walter Scott
Hard toil can roughen form and face, And want call quench the eye's bright grace.
Walter Scott
He that climbs a ladder must begin at the first round.
Walter Scott
Success - keeping your mind awake and your desire asleep.
Walter Scott
In listening mood she seemed to stand, The guardian Naiad of the strand.
Walter Scott
Hurry no man's cattle you may come to own a donkey yourself
Walter Scott
It is the privilege of tale-tellers to open their story in an inn, the free rendezvous of all travellers, and where the humour of each displays itself, without ceremony or restraint.
Walter Scott
Here is neither want of appetite nor mouths, Pray heaven we be not scant of meat or mirth.
Walter Scott
Blud's thicker than water.
Walter Scott
Guilt, though it may attain temporal splendor, can never confer real happiness the evil consequences of our crimes long survive their commission, and, like the ghosts of the murdered, forever haunt the steps of the malefactor while the paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Walter Scott
'Tis an old tale, and often told But did my fate and wish agree, Ne'er had been read, in story old, Of maiden true betray'd for gold, That loved, or was avenged, like me!
Walter Scott
One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name
Walter Scott
Woman's faith and woman's trust, Write the characters in dust.
Walter Scott
