More quotes by Walter Scott
Within that awful volume lies The mystery of mysteries!
Walter Scott
In love quarrels the party that loves the most is always most willing to acknowledge the greater fault.
Walter Scott
Whose lenient sorrows find relief, whose joys are chastened by their grief.
Walter Scott
For Love will still be lord of all.
Walter Scott
Thou and I are but the blind instruments of some irresistible fatality, that hurries us along, like goodly vessels driving before the storm, which are dashed against each other, and so perish.
Walter Scott
Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth, When thought is speech, and speech is truth.
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
Greatness of any kind has no greater foe than a habit of drinking.
Walter Scott
A good deal of philanthropy arises in general from mere vanity and love of distinction gilded over to others and to themselves with some show of benevolent sentiment.
Walter Scott
Threatened folk live long.
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
As good play for nothing, you know, as work for nothing.
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
Saint George and the Dragon!-Bonny Saint George for Merry England!-The castle is won!
Walter Scott
Call it not vain: they do not err Who say that when the poet dies Mute Nature mourns her worshipper, And celebrates his obsequies.
Walter Scott
Covetousness bursts the sack and spills the grain.
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
The willow which bends to the tempest often escapes better than the oak which resists it.
Walter Scott
For he that does good, having the unlimited power to do evil, deserves praise not only for the good which he performs, but for the evil which he forbears.
Walter Scott
