More quotes by Walter Scott
Oh, poverty parts good company.
Walter Scott
Honour is a homicide and a bloodspiller, that gangs about making frays in the street but Credit is a decent honest man, that sits at hame and makes the pat play.
Walter Scott
A glass of good wine is a gracious creature, and reconciles poor mortality to itself and that is what few things can do.
Walter Scott
The Book of Books Within this ample volume lies The mystery of mysteries. Happiest they of human race To whom their God has given grace To read, to fear, to hope, to pray, To lift the latch, to force the way But better had they ne'er been born That read to doubt or read to scorn.
Walter Scott
Each must drain His share of pleasure, share of pain.
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
See yonder rock from which the fountain gushes is it less compact of adamant, though waters flow from it? Firm hearts have moister eyes.
Walter Scott
Teach self-denial and make its practice pleasure, and you can create for the world a destiny more sublime that ever issued from the brain of the wildest dreamer.
Walter Scott
If you once turn on your side after the hour at which you ought to rise, it is all over. Bolt up at once.
Walter Scott
I am she, O most bucolical juvenal, under whose charge are placed the milky mothers of the herd.
Walter Scott
We are like the herb which flourisheth most when it is most trampled on.
Walter Scott
Threatened folk live long.
Walter Scott
Many a law, many a commandment have I broken, but my word never.
Walter Scott
The race of mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. We cannot exist without mutual help. All therefore that need aid have a right to ask it from their fellow-men and no one who has the power of granting can refuse it without guilt.
Walter Scott
God in his goodness sent the grapes To cheer both great and small Little fools will drink too much And great fools none at all!
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
For a laggard in love, and a dastard in war, Was to wed the fair Ellen of Lochinvar.
Walter Scott
Time rolls his ceaseless course.
Walter Scott
Ridicule often checks what is absurd, and fully as often smothers that which is noble.
Walter Scott
Charge, Chester, charge! on, Stanley, on! Were the last words of Marmion.
Walter Scott
