More quotes by Walter Scott
Is death the last sleep? No, it is the last and final awakening.
Walter Scott
My foot is on my native heath, and my name is MacGregor.
Walter Scott
What a strange scene if the surge of conversation could suddenly ebb like the tide, and show us the real state of people's minds.
Walter Scott
Merrily, merrily goes the bark On a breeze from the northward free, So shoots through the morning sky the lark, Or the swan through the summer sea.
Walter Scott
If a farmer fills his barn with grain, he gets mice. If he leaves it empty, he gets actors.
Walter Scott
We are like the herb which flourisheth most when it is most trampled on.
Walter Scott
The sun never sets on the immense empire of Charles V.
Walter Scott
Many of our cares are but a morbid way of looking at our privileges
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
When Israel, of the Lord belov'd, Out of the land of bondage came, Her fathers' God before her mov'd, An awful guide in smoke and flame.
Walter Scott
Mystery has great charms for womanhood.
Walter Scott
Oh, poverty parts good company.
Walter Scott
Certainly, quoth Athelstane, women are the least to be trusted of all animals, monks and abbots excepted.
Walter Scott
Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can, Come saddle your horses, and call up your men Come open the West Port, and let me gang free, And it's room for the bonnets of Bonny Dundee!
Walter Scott
England was merry England, when Old Christmas brought his sports again. 'Twas Christmas broach'd the mightiest ale 'Twas Christmas told the merriest tale A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man's heart through half the year.
Walter Scott
Honour is a homicide and a bloodspiller, that gangs about making frays in the street but Credit is a decent honest man, that sits at hame and makes the pat play.
Walter Scott
For a laggard in love, and a dastard in war, Was to wed the fair Ellen of Lochinvar.
Walter Scott
Welcome as the flowers in May.
Walter Scott
The willow which bends to the tempest often escapes better than the oak which resists it.
Walter Scott
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, morn of toil, nor night of waking.
Walter Scott
