More quotes by Walter Scott
That day of wrath, that dreadful day. When heaven and earth shall pass away.
Walter Scott
Guilt, though it may attain temporal splendor, can never confer real happiness the evil consequences of our crimes long survive their commission, and, like the ghosts of the murdered, forever haunt the steps of the malefactor while the paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Walter Scott
In love quarrels the party that loves the most is always most willing to acknowledge the greater fault.
Walter Scott
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
O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood Land of the mountain and the flood!
Walter Scott
Hail to the Chief who in triumph advances!
Walter Scott
Faces that have charmed us the most escape us the soonest.
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
It is the privilege of tale-tellers to open their story in an inn, the free rendezvous of all travellers, and where the humour of each displays itself, without ceremony or restraint.
Walter Scott
Chivalry!---why, maiden, she is the nurse of pure and high affection---the stay of the oppressed, the redresser of grievances, the curb of the power of the tyrant ---Nobility were but an empty name without her, and liberty finds the best protection in her lance and her sword.
Walter Scott
I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives and I am quite satisfied it is in compassion to the human race for if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or twelve years, what would it be if they were to live double that time?
Walter Scott
To be ambitious of true honor, of the true glory and perfection of our natures, is the very principle and incentive of virtue.
Walter Scott
The playbill, which is said to have announced the tragedy of Hamlet, the character of the Prince of Denmark being left out.
Walter Scott
And better had they ne'er been born, Who read to doubt, or read to scorn.
Walter Scott
I will but confess the sins of my green cloak to my grey friar's frock, and all shall be well again.
Walter Scott
When thinking about companions gone, we feel ourselves doubly alone.
Walter Scott
The most learned, acute, and diligent student cannot, in the longest life, obtain an entire knowledge of this one volume.
Walter Scott
Charge, Chester, charge! on, Stanley, on! Were the last words of Marmion.
Walter Scott
Each age has deemed the new-born year the fittest time for festal cheer.
Walter Scott
Real valor consists not in being insensible to danger but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.
Walter Scott
