More quotes by Walter Scott
Never was flattery lost on a poet's ear a simple race, they waste their toil for the vain tribute of a smile.
Walter Scott
Those who follow the banners oreason are like the well-disciplined battalions which, wearing a more sober uniform and making a less dazzling show than the light troops commanded by imagination, enjoy more safety, and even more honor, in the conflicts ohuman life.
Walter Scott
On his bold visage middle age Had slightly press'd its signet sage, Yet had not quench'd the open truth And fiery vehemence of youth: Forward and frolic glee was there, The will to do, the soul to dare.
Walter Scott
A mother's pride, a father's joy.
Walter Scott
What is a diary as a rule? A document useful to the person who keeps it. Dull to the contemporary who reads it and invaluable to the student, centuries afterwards, who treasures it.
Walter Scott
Well, then--our course is chosen--spread the sail-- Heave oft the lead, and mark the soundings well-- Look to the helm, good master--many a shoal Marks this stern coast, and rocks, where sits the Siren Who, like ambition, lures men to their ruin.
Walter Scott
It 's no fish ye 're buying, it 's men's lives.
Walter Scott
Though varying wishes, hopes, and fears, Fever'd the progress of these years, Yet now, days, weeks, and months but seem The recollection of a dream.
Walter Scott
True love's the gift which God has given to man alone beneath the heaven.
Walter Scott
Oh, Brignall banks are wild and fair, And Greta woods are green, And you may gather garlands there Would grace a summer's queen.
Walter Scott
Some feelings are to mortals given With less of earth in them than heaven.
Walter Scott
The heart-sick faintness of the hope delayed!
Walter Scott
Each must drain His share of pleasure, share of pain.
Walter Scott
Success or failure in business is caused more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities.
Walter Scott
Chess is a sad waste of brains.
Walter Scott
Come one, come all! this rock shall fly From its firm base, as soon as I.
Walter Scott
As system virtualization becomes mainstream, IT managers will find a greater need for disk imaging for disaster recovery and systems deployment,.
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
In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's reed In war, he mounts the warrior's steed In halls, in gay attire is seen In hamlets, dances on the green. Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Walter Scott
One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation.
Walter Scott
