More quotes by Walter Scott
'Tis an old tale, and often told But did my fate and wish agree, Ne'er had been read, in story old, Of maiden true betray'd for gold, That loved, or was avenged, like me!
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Where lives the man that has not tried How mirth can into folly glide, And folly into sin!
Walter Scott
England was merry England, when Old Christmas brought his sports again. 'Twas Christmas broach'd the mightiest ale 'Twas Christmas told the merriest tale A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man's heart through half the year.
Walter Scott
Land of my sires! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band That knits me to thy rugged strand!
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
All is possible for those who dare to die!
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
I will tear this folly from my heart, though every fibre bleed as I rend it away!
Walter Scott
As good play for nothing, you know, as work for nothing.
Walter Scott
The chain of friendship, however bright, does not stand the attrition of constant close contact.
Walter Scott
It was woman that taught me cruelty, and on woman therefore I have exercised it.
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
A glass of good wine is a gracious creature, and reconciles poor mortality to itself and that is what few things can do.
Walter Scott
To all, to each, a fair good-night, and pleasing dreams, and slumbers light.
Walter Scott
It is a great disgrace to religion, to imagine that it is an enemy to mirth and cheerfulness, and a severe exacter of pensive looks and solemn faces.
Walter Scott
