More quotes by Walter Scott
The heart-sick faintness of the hope delayed!
Walter Scott
The rose is fairest when 't is budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears. The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning dew, And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.
Walter Scott
Some touch of Nature's genial glow.
Walter Scott
In listening mood she seemed to stand, The guardian Naiad of the strand.
Walter Scott
Jock, when ye hae naething else to do, ye may be aye sticking in a tree it will be growing, Jock, when ye 're sleeping.
Walter Scott
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Walter Scott
If a faultless poem could be produced, I am satisfied it would tire the critics themselves and annoy the whole reading world with the spleen.
Walter Scott
Treason seldom dwells with courage.
Walter Scott
He that follows the advice of reason has a mind that is elevated above the reach of injury that sits above the clouds, in a calm and quiet ether, and with a brave indifferency hears the rolling thunders grumble and burst under his feet.
Walter Scott
Sensibility is nature's celestial spring.
Walter Scott
All live by seeming. The beggar begs with it, and the gay courtier Gains land and title, rank and rule, by seeming The clergy scorn it not, and the bold soldier Will eke with it his service.--All admit it, All practise it and he who is content With showing what he is, shall have small credit In church, or camp, or state.--So wags the world.
Walter Scott
For a laggard in love, and a dastard in war, Was to wed the fair Ellen of Lochinvar.
Walter Scott
Revenge, the sweetest morsel to the mouth that ever was cooked in hell.
Walter Scott
It was woman that taught me cruelty, and on woman therefore I have exercised it.
Walter Scott
Those who are too idle to read, save for the purpose of amusement, may in these works acquire some acquaintance with history, which, however inaccurate, is better than none.
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
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
A fool's wild speech confounds the wise.
Walter Scott
Steady of heart and stout of hand.
Walter Scott
The sun never sets on the immense empire of Charles V.
Walter Scott
