More quotes by Walter Scott
Threatened folk live long.
Walter Scott
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
The pith of conversation does not consist in exhibiting your own superior knowledge on matters of small consequence, but in enlarging, improving and correcting the information you possess by the authority of others.
Walter Scott
Success or failure in business is caused more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities.
Walter Scott
If you keep a thing seven years, you are sure to find a use for it.
Walter Scott
The happy combination of fortuitous circumstances.
Walter Scott
The time which passes over our heads so imperceptibly makes the same gradual change in habits, manners and character, as in personal appearance. At the revolution of every five years we find ourselves another and yet the same--there is a change of views, and no less of the light in which we regard them a change of motives as well as of action.
Walter Scott
But search the land of living men, Where wilt thou find their like again?
Walter Scott
Who, noteless as the race from which he sprung, Saved others' names, but left his own unsung.
Walter Scott
Oh, poverty parts good company.
Walter Scott
Will future ages believe that such stupid bigotry ever existed!
Walter Scott
I will tear this folly from my heart, though every fibre bleed as I rend it away!
Walter Scott
Well, then--our course is chosen--spread the sail-- Heave oft the lead, and mark the soundings well-- Look to the helm, good master--many a shoal Marks this stern coast, and rocks, where sits the Siren Who, like ambition, lures men to their ruin.
Walter Scott
Many of our cares are but a morbid way of looking at our privileges
Walter Scott
In man's most dark extremity Oft succour dawns from Heaven.
Walter Scott
As long as the Fates permit, live cheerfully.
Walter Scott
There is a vulgar incredulity, which in historical matters, as well as in those of religion, finds it easier to doubt than to examine.
Walter Scott
That day of wrath, that dreadful day. When heaven and earth shall pass away.
Walter Scott
Love will subsist on wonderfully little hope but not altogether without it.
Walter Scott
Whose lenient sorrows find relief, whose joys are chastened by their grief.
Walter Scott
