More quotes by Walter Scott
On his bold visage middle age Had slightly press'd its signet sage, Yet had not quench'd the open truth And fiery vehemence of youth: Forward and frolic glee was there, The will to do, the soul to dare.
Walter Scott
Time rolls his ceaseless course.
Walter Scott
I was born a Scotsman and a bare one. Therefore I was born to fight my way in the world.
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
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
Lightly from fair to fair he flew, And loved to plead, lament, and sue Suit lightly won, and short-lived pain, For monarchs seldom sigh in vain.
Walter Scott
Woe to the youth whom Fancy gains, Winning from Reason's hand the reins, Pity and woe! for such a mind Is soft contemplative, and kind.
Walter Scott
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, morn of toil, nor night of waking.
Walter Scott
We do that in our zeal our calmer moment would be afraid to answer.
Walter Scott
The paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Walter Scott
The schoolmaster is termed, classically, Ludi Magister, because he deprives boys of their play.
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
Methinks I will not die quite happy without having seen something of that Rome of which I have read so much.
Walter Scott
From my experience, not one in twenty marries the first love we build statues of snow and weep to see them melt.
Walter Scott
My dear, be a good man be virtuous be religious be a good man. Nothing else will give you any comfort when you come to lie here. ...God bless you all.
Walter Scott
Now, it is well known, that a man may with more impunity be guilty of an actual breach either of real good breeding or of good morals, than appear ignorant of the most minute point of fashionable etiquette.
Walter Scott
Will future ages believe that such stupid bigotry ever existed!
Walter Scott
Great talent has always a little madness mixed up with it.
Walter Scott
Greatness of any kind has no greater foe than a habit of drinking.
Walter Scott
Profan'd the God-given strength, and marr'd the lofty line.
Walter Scott
