More quotes by Walter Scott
The paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Walter Scott
Adversity is like the period of the rain. . . cold, comfortless, unfriendly to people and to animals yet from that season have their birth the flower, the fruit, the date, the rose and the pomegranate.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Although too much of a soldier among sovereigns, no one could claim with better right to be a sovereign among soldiers.
Walter Scott
If you keep a thing seven years, you are sure to find a use for it.
Walter Scott
I was not always a man of woe.

Walter Scott
Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can, Come saddle your horses, and call up your men Come open the West Port, and let me gang free, And it's room for the bonnets of Bonny Dundee!
Walter Scott
Saint George and the Dragon!-Bonny Saint George for Merry England!-The castle is won!
Walter Scott
Literature is a great staff, but a very sorry crutch.
Walter Scott
Though varying wishes, hopes, and fears, Fever'd the progress of these years, Yet now, days, weeks, and months but seem The recollection of a dream.
Walter Scott
Profan'd the God-given strength, and marr'd the lofty line.
Walter Scott
He that follows the advice of reason has a mind that is elevated above the reach of injury that sits above the clouds, in a calm and quiet ether, and with a brave indifferency hears the rolling thunders grumble and burst under his feet.
Walter Scott
You will, I trust, resemble a forest plant, which has indeed, by some accident, been brought up in the greenhouse, and thus rendered delicate and effeminate, but which regains its native firmness and tenacity, when exposed for a season to the winter air.
Walter Scott
In the name of God! said Gurth, how came they prisoners? and to whom? Our master was too ready to fight, said the Jester, and Athelstane was not ready enough, and no other person was ready at all.
Walter Scott
The will to do, the soul to dare..
Walter Scott
