More quotes by Walter Scott
Mankind — the race would perish did they cease to aid each other.
Walter Scott
Nothing is more completely the child of art than a garden.
Walter Scott
Earth walks on Earth, Glittering in gold Earth goes to Earth, Sooner than it wold Earth builds on Earth, Palaces and towers Earth says to Earth, Soon, all shall be ours.
Walter Scott
Heap on more wood! - the wind is chill But let it whistle as it will, We'll keep our Christmas merry still.
Walter Scott
Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust, from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonor'd, and unsung.
Walter Scott
Silence, maiden thy tongue outruns thy discretion.
Walter Scott
Adversity is like the period of the rain. . . cold, comfortless, unfriendly to people and to animals yet from that season have their birth the flower, the fruit, the date, the rose and the pomegranate.
Walter Scott
He is the best sailor who can steer within fewest points of the wind, and exact a motive power out of the greatest obstacles.
Walter Scott
O woman! in our hours of ease Uncertain, coy, and hard to please, And variable as the shade By the light quivering aspen made When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou!
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
Oh, on that day, that wrathful day, When man to judgment wakes front clay, Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay, Though heaven and earth shall pass away.
Walter Scott
Blud's thicker than water.
Walter Scott
All is possible for those who dare to die!
Walter Scott
It is wonderful what strength of purpose and boldness and energy of will are roused by the assurance that we are doing our duty.
Walter Scott
Guilt, though it may attain temporal splendor, can never confer real happiness the evil consequences of our crimes long survive their commission, and, like the ghosts of the murdered, forever haunt the steps of the malefactor while the paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Walter Scott
When a man has not a good reason for doing a thing, he has one good reason for letting it alone.
Walter Scott
When true friends meet in adverse hour 'Tis like a sunbeam through a shower. A watery way an instant seen, The darkly closing clouds between.
Walter Scott
Steady of heart and stout of hand.
Walter Scott
Some touch of Nature's genial glow.
Walter Scott
For love is heaven and heaven is love.
Walter Scott
