More quotes by Walter Scott
The pith of conversation does not consist in exhibiting your own superior knowledge on matters of small consequence, but in enlarging, improving and correcting the information you possess by the authority of others.
Walter Scott
Saint George and the Dragon!-Bonny Saint George for Merry England!-The castle is won!
Walter Scott
A rusted nail, placed near the faithful compass, Will sway it from the truth, and wreck the argosy.
Walter Scott
He that climbs a ladder must begin at the first round.
Walter Scott
Greatness of any kind has no greater foe than a habit of drinking.
Walter Scott
Look back, and smile on perils past.
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
What skilful limner e'er would choose To paint the rainbow's varying hues, Unless to mortal it were given To dip his brush in dyes of heaven?
Walter Scott
All live by seeming. The beggar begs with it, and the gay courtier Gains land and title, rank and rule, by seeming The clergy scorn it not, and the bold soldier Will eke with it his service.--All admit it, All practise it and he who is content With showing what he is, shall have small credit In church, or camp, or state.--So wags the world.
Walter Scott
Tell that to the marines - the sailors won't believe it.
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
Of all vices, drinking is the most incompatible with greatness.
Walter Scott
Real valor consists not in being insensible to danger but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.
Walter Scott
Love will subsist on wonderfully little hope but not altogether without it.
Walter Scott
Those who are too idle to read, save for the purpose of amusement, may in these works acquire some acquaintance with history, which, however inaccurate, is better than none.
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
Many a law, many a commandment have I broken, but my word never.
Walter Scott
Meat eaten without either mirth or music is ill of digestion.
Walter Scott
What is a diary as a rule? A document useful to the person who keeps it. Dull to the contemporary who reads it and invaluable to the student, centuries afterwards, who treasures it.
Walter Scott
The sun never sets on the immense empire of Charles V.
Walter Scott
