More quotes by Walter Scott
Faces that have charmed us the most escape us the soonest.
Walter Scott
Thus aged men, full loth and slow, The vanities of life forego, And count their youthful follies o'er, Till Memory lends her light no more.
Walter Scott
The schoolmaster is termed, classically, Ludi Magister, because he deprives boys of their play.
Walter Scott
The rose is fairest when 't is budding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears. The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning dew, And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.
Walter Scott
November's sky is chill and drear, November's leaf is red and sear.
Walter Scott
Good even, good fair moon, good even to thee. I prithee, dear moon, now show to me the form and the features, the speech and degree, of the man that true lover of mine shall be.
Walter Scott
Every hour has its end.
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

Walter Scott
I like a highland friend who will stand by me not only when I am in the right, but when I am a little in the wrong.
Walter Scott
Here is neither want of appetite nor mouths, Pray heaven we be not scant of meat or mirth.
Walter Scott
Profan'd the God-given strength, and marr'd the lofty line.
Walter Scott
For he that does good, having the unlimited power to do evil, deserves praise not only for the good which he performs, but for the evil which he forbears.
Walter Scott
My hope, my heaven, my trust must be, My gentle guide, in following thee.
Walter Scott
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Walter Scott
Heaven know its time the bullet has its billet
Walter Scott
Contentions fierce, Ardent, and dire, spring from no petty cause.
Walter Scott
We build statues out of snow, and weep to see them melt.
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
One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name
Walter Scott
