More quotes by Walter Scott
God forgive me for having thought it possible that a schoolmaster could be out and out a rational being.
Walter Scott
Greatness of any kind has no greater foe than a habit of drinking.
Walter Scott
A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man's heart through half the year.
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
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
Caution comes too late when we are in the midst of evils.
Walter Scott
To the timid and hesitating everything is impossible because it seems so.
Walter Scott
In love quarrels the party that loves the most is always most willing to acknowledge the greater fault.
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
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
Oh, poverty parts good company.
Walter Scott
Who, noteless as the race from which he sprung, Saved others' names, but left his own unsung.
Walter Scott
The misery of keeping a dog is his dying so soon. But, to be sure, if he lived for fifty years and then died, what would become of me?
Walter Scott
The way was long, the wind was cold, The Minstrel was infirm and old His withered cheek, and tresses gray, Seemed to have know a better day.
Walter Scott
We build statues out of snow, and weep to see them melt.
Walter Scott
As good play for nothing, you know, as work for nothing.
Walter Scott
I was not always a man of woe.
Walter Scott
Each age has deemed the new-born year the fittest time for festal cheer.
Walter Scott
O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war, Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?
Walter Scott
