More quotes by Walter Scott
Some feelings are to mortals given With less of earth in them than heaven.
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
Spangling the wave with lights as vain As pleasures in the vale of pain, That dazzle as they fade.
Walter Scott
O! many a shaft, at random sent, Finds mark the archer little meant! And many a word, at random spoken, May soothe or wound a heart that's broken!
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
All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education.
Walter Scott
Will future ages believe that such stupid bigotry ever existed!
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
Methinks I will not die quite happy without having seen something of that Rome of which I have read so much.
Walter Scott
A sinful heart makes feeble hand.
Walter Scott
A thousand fearful images and dire suggestions glance along the mind when it is moody and discontented with itself. Command them to stand and show themselves, and you presently assert the power of reason over imagination.
Walter Scott
A lawyer without history or literature is a mechanic, a mere working mason if he possesses some knowledge of these, he may venture to call himself an architect.
Walter Scott
Teach self-denial and make its practice pleasure, and you can create for the world a destiny more sublime that ever issued from the brain of the wildest dreamer.
Walter Scott
A ruin should always be protected but never repaired - thus may we witness full the lingering legacies of the past.
Walter Scott
But with morning cool repentance came.
Walter Scott
True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven: It is not fantasy's hot fire, Whose wishes soon as granted fly It liveth not in fierce desire.
Walter Scott
Her blue eyes sought the west afar, For lovers love the western star.
Walter Scott
Contentions fierce, Ardent, and dire, spring from no petty cause.
Walter Scott
High minds, of native pride and force, Most deeply feel thy pangs, Remorse Fear, for their scourge, means villains have, Thou art the torturer of the brave!
Walter Scott
Hail to the Chief who in triumph advances!
Walter Scott
