More quotes by Walter Scott
Spur not an unbroken horse put not your plowshare too deep into new land.
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
We build statues out of snow, and weep to see them melt.
Walter Scott
Hail to the Chief who in triumph advances!
Walter Scott
In man's most dark extremity Oft succour dawns from Heaven.
Walter Scott
Respect was mingled with surprise, And the stern joy which warriors feel In foemen worthy of their steel.
Walter Scott
Do not Christians and Heathens, and Jews and Gentiles, and poets and philosophers, unite in allowing the starry influences?
Walter Scott
In the lost battle, Borne down by the flying, Where mingles war's rattle With groans of the dying.
Walter Scott
To be ambitious of true honor, of the true glory and perfection of our natures, is the very principle and incentive of virtue.
Walter Scott
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott

Walter Scott
come he slow or come he fast it is but death that comes at last
Walter Scott
Success - keeping your mind awake and your desire asleep.
Walter Scott
As hope and fear alternate chase Our course through life's uncertain race.
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
The pith of conversation does not consist in exhibiting your own superior knowledge on matters of small consequence, but in enlarging, improving and correcting the information you possess by the authority of others.
Walter Scott
Vengeance to God alone belongs But, when I think of all my wrongs My blood is liquid flame!
Walter Scott
It is more difficult to look upon victory than upon battle.
Walter Scott
Cats are a very mysterious kind of folk. There is always more passing in their minds than we are aware of.
Walter Scott
