More quotes by Walter Scott
Every hour has its end.
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
Still from the sire the son shall hear Of the stern strife, and carnage drear, Of Flodden's fatal field, When shiver'd was fair Scotland's spear, And broken was her shield!
Walter Scott
O woman! in our hours of ease Uncertain, coy, and hard to please, And variable as the shade By the light quivering aspen made When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou!
Walter Scott
Where is the coward that would not dare to fight for such a land as Scotland?
Walter Scott
Here is neither want of appetite nor mouths, Pray heaven we be not scant of meat or mirth.
Walter Scott
Art thou a friend to Roderick?
Walter Scott
Time rolls his ceaseless course.
Walter Scott
Where, where was Roderick then? One blast upon his bugle horn Were worth a thousand men.
Walter Scott
What can they see in the longest kingly line in Europe, save that it runs back to a successful soldier?
Walter Scott
Hail to the Chief who in triumph advances!
Walter Scott
One or two of these scoundrel statesmen should be shot once a-year, just to keep the others on their good behavior.
Walter Scott
It was in the beginning of the month of November, 17--, when a young English gentleman, who had just left the university of Oxford, made use of the liberty afforded him, to visit some parts of the north of England and curiosity extended his tour into the adjacent frontier of the sister country.
Walter Scott
To all, to each, a fair good-night, and pleasing dreams, and slumbers light.
Walter Scott
The lover's pleasure, like that of the hunter, is in the chase, and the brightest beauty loses half its merit, as the flower its perfume, when the willing hand can reach it too easily. There must be doubt there must be difficulty and danger.
Walter Scott
The sickening pang of hope deferr'd.
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
One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name
Walter Scott
So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war, There never was knight like young Lochinvar.
Walter Scott
Necessity--thou best of peacemakers, As well as surest prompter of invention.
Walter Scott
