More quotes by Walter Scott
Cats are a very mysterious kind of folk. There is always more passing in their minds than we are aware of.
Walter Scott
Marry in haste, repent at leisure.
Walter Scott
Cats are a mysterious kind of folk.
Walter Scott
Saint George and the Dragon!-Bonny Saint George for Merry England!-The castle is won!
Walter Scott
Never was flattery lost on a poet's ear a simple race, they waste their toil for the vain tribute of a smile.
Walter Scott
God in his goodness sent the grapes To cheer both great and small Little fools will drink too much And great fools none at all!
Walter Scott
The sun never sets on the immense empire of Charles V.
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
Look not thou on beauty's charming Sit thou still when kings are arming Taste not when the wine-cup glistens Speak not when the people listens
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
On his bold visage middle age Had slightly press'd its signet sage, Yet had not quench'd the open truth And fiery vehemence of youth: Forward and frolic glee was there, The will to do, the soul to dare.
Walter Scott
Still are the thoughts to memory dear.
Walter Scott
The time which passes over our heads so imperceptibly makes the same gradual change in habits, manners and character, as in personal appearance. At the revolution of every five years we find ourselves another and yet the same--there is a change of views, and no less of the light in which we regard them a change of motives as well as of action.
Walter Scott
From my experience, not one in twenty marries the first love we build statues of snow and weep to see them melt.
Walter Scott
Literature is a great staff, but a very sorry crutch.
Walter Scott
A rusted nail, placed near the faithful compass, Will sway it from the truth, and wreck the argosy.
Walter Scott
The sickening pang of hope deferr'd.
Walter Scott
No scene of mortal life but teems with mortal woe.
Walter Scott
One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name
Walter Scott
Sensibility is nature's celestial spring.
Walter Scott
