More quotes by Walter Scott
The half hour between waking and rising has all my life proved propitious to any task which was exercising my invention... It was always when I first opened my eyes that the desired ideas thronged upon me.
Walter Scott
A mother's pride, a father's joy.
Walter Scott
Thou hast had thty day, old dame, but thy sun has long been set. Thou art now the very emblem of an old warhorse turned out on the barren heath thou hast had thy paces in thy time, but now a broken amble is the best of them.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
And children know, Instinctive taught, the friend and foe.
Walter Scott
O! many a shaft, at random sent, Finds mark the archer little meant! And many a word, at random spoken, May soothe or wound a heart that's broken!
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
The race of mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. We cannot exist without mutual help. All therefore that need aid have a right to ask it from their fellow-men and no one who has the power of granting can refuse it without guilt.
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
Some feelings are to mortals given With less of earth in them than heaven.
Walter Scott
Still from the sire the son shall hear Of the stern strife, and carnage drear, Of Flodden's fatal field, When shiver'd was fair Scotland's spear, And broken was her shield!
Walter Scott
Guilt, though it may attain temporal splendor, can never confer real happiness the evil consequences of our crimes long survive their commission, and, like the ghosts of the murdered, forever haunt the steps of the malefactor while the paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Walter Scott
Tell that to the marines - the sailors won't believe it.
Walter Scott
Is death the last sleep? No, it is the last and final awakening.
Walter Scott
To the timid and hesitating everything is impossible because it seems so.
Walter Scott
Oh, poverty parts good company.
Walter Scott
Treason seldom dwells with courage.
Walter Scott
Although too much of a soldier among sovereigns, no one could claim with better right to be a sovereign among soldiers.
Walter Scott
Thou and I are but the blind instruments of some irresistible fatality, that hurries us along, like goodly vessels driving before the storm, which are dashed against each other, and so perish.
Walter Scott
Real valor consists not in being insensible to danger but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.
Walter Scott
