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
Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.
Walter Scott
All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education.
Walter Scott
In man's most dark extremity Oft succour dawns from Heaven.
Walter Scott
Oh, poverty parts good company.
Walter Scott
War is the only game in which both sides lose.
Walter Scott
Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust, from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonor'd, and unsung.
Walter Scott
Chess is a sad waste of brains.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Come forth, old man,--thy daughter's side Is now the fitting place for thee: When time has quell'd the oak's bold pride, The youthful tendril yet may hide, The ruins of the parent tree.
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
Oh, Brignall banks are wild and fair, And Greta woods are green, And you may gather garlands there Would grace a summer's queen.
Walter Scott
Warriors! and where are warriors found, If not on martial Britain's ground? And who, when waked with note of fire, Love more than they the British lyre?
Walter Scott
We are like the herb which flourisheth most when it is most trampled on.
Walter Scott
The sun never sets on the immense empire of Charles V.
Walter Scott
Within that awful volume lies The mystery of mysteries!
Walter Scott
In listening mood she seemed to stand, The guardian Naiad of the strand.
Walter Scott
Many of our cares are but a morbid way of looking at our privileges
Walter Scott
My hope, my heaven, my trust must be, My gentle guide, in following thee.
Walter Scott
