More quotes by Walter Scott
True love's the gift which God has given to man alone beneath the heaven.
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
I did not myself set a high estimation on wealth, and had the affectation of most young men of lively imagination, who suppose that they can better dispense with the possession of money, than resign their time and faculties to the labour necessary to acquire it.
Walter Scott
You will, I trust, resemble a forest plant, which has indeed, by some accident, been brought up in the greenhouse, and thus rendered delicate and effeminate, but which regains its native firmness and tenacity, when exposed for a season to the winter air.
Walter Scott
The way was long, the wind was cold, The Minstrel was infirm and old His withered cheek, and tresses gray, Seemed to have know a better day.
Walter Scott
Fight on, brave knights! Man dies, but glory lives! Fight on death is better than defeat! Fight on brave knights! for bright eyes behold your deeds!
Walter Scott
A sound head, an honest heart, and an humble spirit are the three best guides through time and to eternity.
Walter Scott
Steady of heart and stout of hand.
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
Love will subsist on wonderfully little hope but not altogether without it.
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
In listening mood she seemed to stand, The guardian Naiad of the strand.
Walter Scott
Hope is brightest when it dawns from fears.
Walter Scott
Hard toil can roughen form and face, And want call quench the eye's bright grace.
Walter Scott
O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood Land of the mountain and the flood!
Walter Scott
It is the privilege of tale-tellers to open their story in an inn, the free rendezvous of all travellers, and where the humour of each displays itself, without ceremony or restraint.
Walter Scott
Now, it is well known, that a man may with more impunity be guilty of an actual breach either of real good breeding or of good morals, than appear ignorant of the most minute point of fashionable etiquette.
Walter Scott
My foot is on my native heath, and my name is MacGregor.
Walter Scott
Hail to the Chief who in triumph advances!
Walter Scott
But woe awaits a country when She sees the tears of bearded men.
Walter Scott
