More quotes by Walter Scott
Many a law, many a commandment have I broken, but my word never.
Walter Scott
I did not myself set a high estimation on wealth, and had the affectation of most young men of lively imagination, who suppose that they can better dispense with the possession of money, than resign their time and faculties to the labour necessary to acquire it.
Walter Scott
Where, where was Roderick then? One blast upon his bugle horn Were worth a thousand men.
Walter Scott
The time which passes over our heads so imperceptibly makes the same gradual change in habits, manners and character, as in personal appearance. At the revolution of every five years we find ourselves another and yet the same--there is a change of views, and no less of the light in which we regard them a change of motives as well as of action.
Walter Scott
All is possible for those who dare to die!
Walter Scott
He hath a share of man's intelligence, but no share of man's falsehood.
Walter Scott
Marry in haste, repent at leisure.
Walter Scott
All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education.
Walter Scott
Commend me to sterling honesty though clad in rags.
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
Steady of heart and stout of hand.
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
Each must drain His share of pleasure, share of pain.
Walter Scott
Come forth, old man,--thy daughter's side Is now the fitting place for thee: When time has quell'd the oak's bold pride, The youthful tendril yet may hide, The ruins of the parent tree.
Walter Scott
...crystal and hearts would lose all their merit in the world if it were not for their fragility.
Walter Scott
Treason seldom dwells with courage.
Walter Scott
And better had they ne'er been born, Who read to doubt, or read to scorn.
Walter Scott
A sinful heart makes feeble hand.
Walter Scott
The most learned, acute, and diligent student cannot, in the longest life, obtain an entire knowledge of this one volume.
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
