More quotes by Walter Scott
Mankind — the race would perish did they cease to aid each other.
Walter Scott
Honour is a homicide and a bloodspiller, that gangs about making frays in the street but Credit is a decent honest man, that sits at hame and makes the pat play.
Walter Scott
We often praise the evening clouds, And tints so gay and bold, But seldom think upon our God, Who tinged these clouds with gold.
Walter Scott
True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven. It is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie, Which heart to heart, and mind to mind, In body and in soul can bind.
Walter Scott
There is a southern proverb - fine words butter no parsnips.
Walter Scott
Fight on, brave knights! Man dies, but glory lives! Fight on death is better than defeat! Fight on brave knights! for bright eyes behold your deeds!
Walter Scott
Credit is like a looking-glass, which when once sullied by a breath, may be wiped clear again but if once cracked can never be repaired.
Walter Scott
Well, then--our course is chosen--spread the sail-- Heave oft the lead, and mark the soundings well-- Look to the helm, good master--many a shoal Marks this stern coast, and rocks, where sits the Siren Who, like ambition, lures men to their ruin.
Walter Scott
come he slow or come he fast it is but death that comes at last
Walter Scott
Warriors! and where are warriors found, If not on martial Britain's ground? And who, when waked with note of fire, Love more than they the British lyre?
Walter Scott
Necessity--thou best of peacemakers, As well as surest prompter of invention.
Walter Scott
For Love will still be lord of all.
Walter Scott
Some feelings are to mortals given With less of earth in them than heaven.
Walter Scott
The playbill, which is said to have announced the tragedy of Hamlet, the character of the Prince of Denmark being left out.
Walter Scott
Fortune may raise up or abuse the ordinary mortal, but the sage and the soldier should have minds beyond her control.
Walter Scott
Women are but the toys which amuse our lighter hours---ambition is the serious business of life.
Walter Scott
What an ornament and safeguard is humor! Far better than wit for a poet and writer. It is a genius itself, and so defends from the insanities.
Walter Scott
I'll dream no more--by mainly mind Not even in sleep is well resigned. My midnight orisons said o'er, I'll turn to rest and dream no more.
Walter Scott
The chain of friendship, however bright, does not stand the attrition of constant close contact.
Walter Scott
He that climbs the tall tree has won right to the fruit, He that leaps the wide gulf should prevail in his suit.
Walter Scott
