More quotes by Walter Scott
Greatness of any kind has no greater foe than a habit of drinking.
Walter Scott
In that pleasant district of merry England which is watered by the river Don, there extended in ancient times a large forest, covering the greater part of the beautiful hills and valleys which lie between Sheffield and the pleasant town of Doncaster.
Walter Scott
For a laggard in love, and a dastard in war, Was to wed the fair Ellen of Lochinvar.
Walter Scott
Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth, When thought is speech, and speech is truth.
Walter Scott
Loud o'er my head though awful thunders roll, And vivid lightnings flash from pole to pole, Yet 'tis Thy voice, my God, that bids them fly, Thy arm directs those lightnings through the sky. Then let the good Thy mighty name revere, And hardened sinners Thy just vengeance fear.
Walter Scott
See yonder rock from which the fountain gushes is it less compact of adamant, though waters flow from it? Firm hearts have moister eyes.
Walter Scott
The chain of friendship, however bright, does not stand the attrition of constant close contact.
Walter Scott
Mankind — the race would perish did they cease to aid each other.
Walter Scott
There is a southern proverb - fine words butter no parsnips.
Walter Scott
Will future ages believe that such stupid bigotry ever existed!
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
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
It was woman that taught me cruelty, and on woman therefore I have exercised it.
Walter Scott
True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven. It is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie, Which heart to heart, and mind to mind, In body and in soul can bind.
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
The playbill, which is said to have announced the tragedy of Hamlet, the character of the Prince of Denmark being left out.
Walter Scott
Many a law, many a commandment have I broken, but my word never.
Walter Scott
Meat eaten without either mirth or music is ill of digestion.
Walter Scott
Recollect that the Almighty, who gave the dog to be companion of our pleasures and our toils, hath invested him with a nature noble and incapable of deceit.
Walter Scott
Blud's thicker than water.
Walter Scott
