More quotes by Walter Scott
Is death the last sleep? No, it is the last and final awakening.
Walter Scott
Look not thou on beauty's charming Sit thou still when kings are arming Taste not when the wine-cup glistens Speak not when the people listens
Walter Scott
Each must drain His share of pleasure, share of pain.
Walter Scott
He hath a share of man's intelligence, but no share of man's falsehood.
Walter Scott
In the lost battle, Borne down by the flying, Where mingles war's rattle With groans of the dying.
Walter Scott
Fight on, brave knights! Man dies, but glory lives! Fight on death is better than defeat! Fight on brave knights! for bright eyes behold your deeds!
Walter Scott
Lambe them, lads! lambe them! a cant phrase of the time derived from the fate of Dr. Lambe, an astrologer and quack, who was knocked on the head by the rabble in Charles the First's time.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er.
Walter Scott
He that would soothe sorrow must not argue on the vanity of the most deceitful hopes.
Walter Scott
The schoolmaster is termed, classically, Ludi Magister, because he deprives boys of their play.
Walter Scott
Where lives the man that has not tried How mirth can into folly glide, And folly into sin!
Walter Scott
As hope and fear alternate chase Our course through life's uncertain race.
Walter Scott
It is wonderful what strength of purpose and boldness and energy of will are roused by the assurance that we are doing our duty.
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
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
The half hour between waking and rising has all my life proved propitious to any task which was exercising my invention... It was always when I first opened my eyes that the desired ideas thronged upon me.
Walter Scott
So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war, There never was knight like young Lochinvar.
Walter Scott
And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.
Walter Scott
Heaven know its time the bullet has its billet
Walter Scott
