More quotes by Walter Scott
Those who are too idle to read, save for the purpose of amusement, may in these works acquire some acquaintance with history, which, however inaccurate, is better than none.
Walter Scott
One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name
Walter Scott
Ambition is no cure for love!
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
Real valor consists not in being insensible to danger but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.
Walter Scott
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
Walter Scott
A sound head, an honest heart, and an humble spirit are the three best guides through time and to eternity.
Walter Scott
Necessity--thou best of peacemakers, As well as surest prompter of invention.
Walter Scott
That day of wrath, that dreadful day. When heaven and earth shall pass away.
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 willow which bends to the tempest often escapes better than the oak which resists it.
Walter Scott
Here eglantine embalm'd the air, Hawthorne and hazel mingled there The primrose pale, and violet flower, Found in each cliff a narrow bower Fox-glove and nightshade, side by side, Emblems of punishment and pride, Group'd their dark hues with every stain The weather-beaten crags retain.
Walter Scott
...crystal and hearts would lose all their merit in the world if it were not for their fragility.
Walter Scott
Where, where was Roderick then? One blast upon his bugle horn Were worth a thousand men.
Walter Scott
Give me an honest laugher.
Walter Scott
There is a vulgar incredulity, which in historical matters, as well as in those of religion, finds it easier to doubt than to examine.
Walter Scott
War is the only game in which both sides lose.
Walter Scott
Literature is a great staff, but a very sorry crutch.
Walter Scott
The race of mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. We cannot exist without mutual help. All therefore that need aid have a right to ask it from their fellow-men and no one who has the power of granting can refuse it without guilt.
Walter Scott
Warriors! and where are warriors found, If not on martial Britain's ground? And who, when waked with note of fire, Love more than they the British lyre?
Walter Scott
