More quotes by Walter Scott
Jock, when ye hae naething else to do, ye may be aye sticking in a tree it will be growing, Jock, when ye 're sleeping.
Walter Scott
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
Ambition is no cure for love!
Walter Scott
Treason seldom dwells with courage.
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
We build statues out of snow, and weep to see them melt.
Walter Scott
Vengeance to God alone belongs But, when I think of all my wrongs My blood is liquid flame!
Walter Scott
Give me an honest laugher.
Walter Scott
Woman's faith and woman's trust, Write the characters in dust.
Walter Scott
Teach self-denial and make its practice pleasure, and you can create for the world a destiny more sublime that ever issued from the brain of the wildest dreamer.
Walter Scott
A rusted nail, placed near the faithful compass, Will sway it from the truth, and wreck the argosy.
Walter Scott
All live by seeming. The beggar begs with it, and the gay courtier Gains land and title, rank and rule, by seeming The clergy scorn it not, and the bold soldier Will eke with it his service.--All admit it, All practise it and he who is content With showing what he is, shall have small credit In church, or camp, or state.--So wags the world.
Walter Scott
The heart-sick faintness of the hope delayed!
Walter Scott
Blud's thicker than water.
Walter Scott
In love quarrels the party that loves the most is always most willing to acknowledge the greater fault.
Walter Scott
Who o'er the herd would wish to reign, Fantastic, fickle, fierce, and vain! Vain as the leaf upon the stream, And fickle as a changeful dream Fantastic as a woman's mood, And fierce as Frenzy's fever'd blood. Thou many-headed monster thing, Oh who would wish to be thy king!
Walter Scott
The sickening pang of hope deferr'd.
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
What can they see in the longest kingly line in Europe, save that it runs back to a successful soldier?
Walter Scott
Sleep in peace, and wake in joy.
Walter Scott
