More quotes by Walter Scott
The heart-sick faintness of the hope delayed!
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
Within that awful volume lies The mystery of mysteries!
Walter Scott
He who indulges his sense in any excesses renders himself obnoxious to his own reason and, to gratify the brute in him, displeases the man, and sets his two natures at variance.
Walter Scott
Caution comes too late when we are in the midst of evils.
Walter Scott
Sensibility is nature's celestial spring.
Walter Scott

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
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, morn of toil, nor night of waking.
Walter Scott
Loud o'er my head though awful thunders roll, And vivid lightnings flash from pole to pole, Yet 'tis Thy voice, my God, that bids them fly, Thy arm directs those lightnings through the sky. Then let the good Thy mighty name revere, And hardened sinners Thy just vengeance fear.
Walter Scott
And better had they ne'er been born, Who read to doubt, or read to scorn.
Walter Scott
England was merry England, when Old Christmas brought his sports again. 'Twas Christmas broach'd the mightiest ale 'Twas Christmas told the merriest tale A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man's heart through half the year.
Walter Scott
As long as the Fates permit, live cheerfully.
Walter Scott
There is a southern proverb - fine words butter no parsnips.
Walter Scott
Success or failure in business is caused more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities.
Walter Scott
Look back, and smile on perils past.
Walter Scott
It was woman that taught me cruelty, and on woman therefore I have exercised it.
Walter Scott
Wounds sustained for the sake of conscience carry their own balsam with the blow.
Walter Scott
Chivalry!---why, maiden, she is the nurse of pure and high affection---the stay of the oppressed, the redresser of grievances, the curb of the power of the tyrant ---Nobility were but an empty name without her, and liberty finds the best protection in her lance and her sword.
Walter Scott
