More quotes by 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
In prosperous times I have sometimes felt my fancy and powers of language flag, but adversity is to me at least a tonic and bracer.
Walter Scott
Is death the last sleep? No, it is the last and final awakening.
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
Real valor consists not in being insensible to danger but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.
Walter Scott
Thus aged men, full loth and slow, The vanities of life forego, And count their youthful follies o'er, Till Memory lends her light no more.
Walter Scott
Ridicule often checks what is absurd, and fully as often smothers that which is noble.
Walter Scott
When thinking about companions gone, we feel ourselves doubly alone.
Walter Scott
Adversity is like the period of the rain. . . cold, comfortless, unfriendly to people and to animals yet from that season have their birth the flower, the fruit, the date, the rose and the pomegranate.
Walter Scott
Spangling the wave with lights as vain As pleasures in the vale of pain, That dazzle as they fade.
Walter Scott
O woman! in our hours of ease Uncertain, coy, and hard to please, And variable as the shade By the light quivering aspen made When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou!
Walter Scott
He hath a share of man's intelligence, but no share of man's falsehood.
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
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Walter Scott
I envy thee not thy faith, which is ever in thy mouth but never in thy heart nor in thy practice
Walter Scott
Still are the thoughts to memory dear.
Walter Scott
Methinks I will not die quite happy without having seen something of that Rome of which I have read so much.
Walter Scott
Will future ages believe that such stupid bigotry ever existed!
Walter Scott
My dear, be a good man be virtuous be religious be a good man. Nothing else will give you any comfort when you come to lie here. ...God bless you all.
Walter Scott
Each must drain His share of pleasure, share of pain.
Walter Scott
