More quotes by 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
In listening mood she seemed to stand, The guardian Naiad of the strand.
Walter Scott
Caution comes too late when we are in the midst of evils.
Walter Scott
It is more difficult to look upon victory than upon battle.
Walter Scott
I will but confess the sins of my green cloak to my grey friar's frock, and all shall be well again.
Walter Scott
My foot is on my native heath, and my name is MacGregor.
Walter Scott
The Book of Books Within this ample volume lies The mystery of mysteries. Happiest they of human race To whom their God has given grace To read, to fear, to hope, to pray, To lift the latch, to force the way But better had they ne'er been born That read to doubt or read to scorn.
Walter Scott
The race of mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. We cannot exist without mutual help. All therefore that need aid have a right to ask it from their fellow-men and no one who has the power of granting can refuse it without guilt.
Walter Scott
Fortune may raise up or abuse the ordinary mortal, but the sage and the soldier should have minds beyond her control.
Walter Scott
In the name of God! said Gurth, how came they prisoners? and to whom? Our master was too ready to fight, said the Jester, and Athelstane was not ready enough, and no other person was ready at all.
Walter Scott
O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war, Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?
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
What skilful limner e'er would choose To paint the rainbow's varying hues, Unless to mortal it were given To dip his brush in dyes of heaven?
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
Where, where was Roderick then? One blast upon his bugle horn Were worth a thousand men.
Walter Scott
Some touch of Nature's genial glow.
Walter Scott
Her blue eyes sought the west afar, For lovers love the western star.
Walter Scott
Blessed be his name, who hath appointed the quiet night to follow the busy day, and the calm sleep to refresh the wearied limbs and to compose the troubled spirit.
Walter Scott
The happy combination of fortuitous circumstances.
Walter Scott
Ridicule often checks what is absurd, and fully as often smothers that which is noble.
Walter Scott
