More quotes by 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.
Walter Scott
Image
Silence, maiden thy tongue outruns thy discretion.
Walter Scott
Image

Walter Scott
Image
Vengeance to God alone belongs But, when I think of all my wrongs My blood is liquid flame!
Walter Scott
Image
Earth walks on Earth, Glittering in gold Earth goes to Earth, Sooner than it wold Earth builds on Earth, Palaces and towers Earth says to Earth, Soon, all shall be ours.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Image
When true friends meet in adverse hour 'Tis like a sunbeam through a shower. A watery way an instant seen, The darkly closing clouds between.
Walter Scott
Image
The rose is fairest when 't is budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears. The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning dew, And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.
Walter Scott
Image
And children know, Instinctive taught, the friend and foe.
Walter Scott
Image
Credit is like a looking-glass, which when once sullied by a breath, may be wiped clear again but if once cracked can never be repaired.
Walter Scott
Image
Do not Christians and Heathens, and Jews and Gentiles, and poets and philosophers, unite in allowing the starry influences?
Walter Scott
Image
Her blue eyes sought the west afar, For lovers love the western star.
Walter Scott
Image
I was born a Scotsman and a bare one. Therefore I was born to fight my way in the world.
Walter Scott
Image
Spangling the wave with lights as vain As pleasures in the vale of pain, That dazzle as they fade.
Walter Scott
Image
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
Image
Marry in haste, repent at leisure.
Walter Scott
Image
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.

Image
For success, attitude is equally as important as ability.
Walter Scott
Image
Look back, and smile on perils past.
