More quotes by Walter Scott
Success or failure in business is caused more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Discretion is the perfection of reason, and a guide to us in all the duties of life.
Walter Scott
Marry in haste, repent at leisure.
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.

Some touch of Nature's genial glow.
Walter Scott

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

Walter Scott
Here is neither want of appetite nor mouths, Pray heaven we be not scant of meat or mirth.
Walter Scott
The sickening pang of hope deferr'd.
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
O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood Land of the mountain and the flood!
Walter Scott
Hope is brightest when it dawns from fears.
Walter Scott
Treason seldom dwells with courage.
Walter Scott
He who indulges his sense in any excesses renders himself obnoxious to his own reason and, to gratify the brute in him, displeases the man, and sets his two natures at variance.
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
Come one, come all! this rock shall fly From its firm base, as soon as I.
Walter Scott
For deadly fear can time outgo, and blanch at once the hair.
Walter Scott
