More quotes by 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
For deadly fear can time outgo, and blanch at once the hair.
Walter Scott
He that climbs a ladder must begin at the first round.
Walter Scott
High minds, of native pride and force, Most deeply feel thy pangs, Remorse Fear, for their scourge, means villains have, Thou art the torturer of the brave!
Walter Scott
A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man's heart through half the year.
Walter Scott
Love, to her ear, was but a name, Combin'd with vanity and shame Her hopes, her fears, her joys, were all Bounded within the cloister wall.
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
Teach you children poetry it opens the mind, lends grace to wisdom and makes the heroic virtues hereditary.
Walter Scott
One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation.
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
Adversity is, to me at least, a tonic and a bracer.
Walter Scott
I did not myself set a high estimation on wealth, and had the affectation of most young men of lively imagination, who suppose that they can better dispense with the possession of money, than resign their time and faculties to the labour necessary to acquire it.
Walter Scott
A mother's pride, a father's joy.
Walter Scott
Look not thou on beauty's charming Sit thou still when kings are arming Taste not when the wine-cup glistens Speak not when the people listens
Walter Scott
The chain of friendship, however bright, does not stand the attrition of constant close contact.
Walter Scott
Never was flattery lost on a poet's ear a simple race, they waste their toil for the vain tribute of a smile.
Walter Scott
Who, noteless as the race from which he sprung, Saved others' names, but left his own unsung.
Walter Scott
We often praise the evening clouds, And tints so gay and bold, But seldom think upon our God, Who tinged these clouds with gold.
Walter Scott
All is possible for those who dare to die!
Walter Scott
Nothing is more completely the child of art than a garden.
Walter Scott
