More quotes by 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
Without courage there cannot be truth, and without truth there can be no other virtue.
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
The playbill, which is said to have announced the tragedy of Hamlet, the character of the Prince of Denmark being left out.
Walter Scott
Loud o'er my head though awful thunders roll, And vivid lightnings flash from pole to pole, Yet 'tis Thy voice, my God, that bids them fly, Thy arm directs those lightnings through the sky. Then let the good Thy mighty name revere, And hardened sinners Thy just vengeance fear.
Walter Scott
Cats are a very mysterious kind of folk. There is always more passing in their minds than we are aware of.
Walter Scott
Marry in haste, repent at leisure.
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
I cannot tell how the truth may be I say the tale as it was said to me.
Walter Scott
O woman! in our hours of ease Uncertain, coy, and hard to please, And variable as the shade By the light quivering aspen made When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou!
Walter Scott
I envy thee not thy faith, which is ever in thy mouth but never in thy heart nor in thy practice
Walter Scott
He that climbs the tall tree has won right to the fruit, He that leaps the wide gulf should prevail in his suit.
Walter Scott
Silence, maiden thy tongue outruns thy discretion.
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
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
What I have to say is far more important than how long my eyelashes are.
Walter Scott
come he slow or come he fast it is but death that comes at last
Walter Scott
Fight on, brave knights! Man dies, but glory lives! Fight on death is better than defeat! Fight on brave knights! for bright eyes behold your deeds!
Walter Scott
We shall never learn to feel and respect our real calling and destiny, unless we have taught ourselves to consider every thing as moonshine, compared with the education of the heart.
Walter Scott
