More quotes by Walter Scott
He that climbs a ladder must begin at the first round.
Walter Scott
Art thou a friend to Roderick?
Walter Scott
Lambe them, lads! lambe them! a cant phrase of the time derived from the fate of Dr. Lambe, an astrologer and quack, who was knocked on the head by the rabble in Charles the First's time.
Walter Scott
Her blue eyes sought the west afar, For lovers love the western star.
Walter Scott
Sleep in peace, and wake in joy.
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
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
He that would soothe sorrow must not argue on the vanity of the most deceitful hopes.
Walter Scott
Chess is a sad waste of brains.
Walter Scott
Within that awful volume lies The mystery of mysteries!
Walter Scott
When a man has not a good reason for doing a thing, he has one good reason for letting it alone.
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
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
Lightly from fair to fair he flew, And loved to plead, lament, and sue Suit lightly won, and short-lived pain, For monarchs seldom sigh in vain.
Walter Scott
It is the privilege of tale-tellers to open their story in an inn, the free rendezvous of all travellers, and where the humour of each displays itself, without ceremony or restraint.
Walter Scott
Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth, When thought is speech, and speech is truth.
Walter Scott
Where, where was Roderick then? One blast upon his bugle horn Were worth a thousand men.
Walter Scott
From my experience, not one in twenty marries the first love we build statues of snow and weep to see them melt.
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
Success - keeping your mind awake and your desire asleep.
Walter Scott
