More quotes by Walter Scott
It is wonderful what strength of purpose and boldness and energy of will are roused by the assurance that we are doing our duty.
Walter Scott
Of all vices, drinking is the most incompatible with greatness.
Walter Scott
Many a law, many a commandment have I broken, but my word never.
Walter Scott
Sleep in peace, and wake in joy.
Walter Scott
Respect was mingled with surprise, And the stern joy which warriors feel In foemen worthy of their steel.
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
The rose is fairest when 't is budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears. The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning dew, And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.
Walter Scott
Land of my sires! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band That knits me to thy rugged strand!
Walter Scott
A rusted nail, placed near the faithful compass, Will sway it from the truth, and wreck the argosy.
Walter Scott
The tear, down childhood's cheek that flows, Is like the dewdrop on the rose When next the summer breeze comes by And waves the bush, the flower is dry.
Walter Scott
Then hush thee, my darling, take rest while you may, For strife comes with manhood, and waking with day.
Walter Scott
Like the dew on the mountain, like the foam on the river, like the bubble on the fountain, thou art gone, and for ever!
Walter Scott
He turn'd his charger as he spake, Upon the river shore, He gave his bridle reins a shake, Said, Adieu for evermore, my love, And adieu for evermore.
Walter Scott
When Israel, of the Lord belov'd, Out of the land of bondage came, Her fathers' God before her mov'd, An awful guide in smoke and flame.
Walter Scott
Hurry no man's cattle you may come to own a donkey yourself
Walter Scott
As system virtualization becomes mainstream, IT managers will find a greater need for disk imaging for disaster recovery and systems deployment,.
Walter Scott
Some touch of Nature's genial glow.
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
Without courage there cannot be truth, and without truth there can be no other virtue.
Walter Scott
In prosperous times I have sometimes felt my fancy and powers of language flag, but adversity is to me at least a tonic and bracer.
Walter Scott
