More quotes by Walter Scott

Image
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
Image

Walter Scott
Image
In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's reed In war, he mounts the warrior's steed In halls, in gay attire is seen In hamlets, dances on the green. Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above For love is heaven, and heaven is love.

My hope, my heaven, my trust must be, My gentle guide, in following thee.
Walter Scott
Image
If a faultless poem could be produced, I am satisfied it would tire the critics themselves and annoy the whole reading world with the spleen.
Walter Scott
Image
Ridicule, the weapon of all others most feared by enthusiasts of every description, and which from its predominance over such minds, often checks what is absurd, and fully as often smothers that which is noble.
Walter Scott
Image
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.

Sensibility is nature's celestial spring.
Walter Scott
Image
Adversity is, to me at least, a tonic and a bracer.
Walter Scott
Image
The man who is deserving the name is the one whose thoughts and exertions are for others rather than for himself.

Oh, Brignall banks are wild and fair, And Greta woods are green, And you may gather garlands there Would grace a summer's queen.
