More quotes by Walter Scott
Every hour has its end.
Walter Scott
It is wonderful what strength of purpose and boldness and energy of will are roused by the assurance that we are doing our duty.
Walter Scott
It is a great disgrace to religion, to imagine that it is an enemy to mirth and cheerfulness, and a severe exacter of pensive looks and solemn faces.
Walter Scott
Oh, poverty parts good company.
Walter Scott
Cats are a mysterious kind of folk.
Walter Scott
A glass of good wine is a gracious creature, and reconciles poor mortality to itself and that is what few things can do.
Walter Scott
I was born a Scotsman and a bare one. Therefore I was born to fight my way in the world.
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
Land of my sires! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band That knits me to thy rugged strand!
Walter Scott
Blud's thicker than water.
Walter Scott
Many of our cares are but a morbid way of looking at our privileges
Walter Scott
For success, attitude is equally as important as ability.
Walter Scott
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.
Walter Scott
In the name of God! said Gurth, how came they prisoners? and to whom? Our master was too ready to fight, said the Jester, and Athelstane was not ready enough, and no other person was ready at all.
Walter Scott
Give me an honest laugher.
Walter Scott
Fight on, brave knights! Man dies, but glory lives! Fight on death is better than defeat! Fight on brave knights! for bright eyes behold your deeds!
Walter Scott
Will future ages believe that such stupid bigotry ever existed!
Walter Scott
Mystery has great charms for womanhood.
Walter Scott
In listening mood she seemed to stand, The guardian Naiad of the strand.
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
