More quotes by Walter Scott
Chess is a sad waste of brains.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Tell that to the marines - the sailors won't believe it.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
What skilful limner e'er would choose To paint the rainbow's varying hues, Unless to mortal it were given To dip his brush in dyes of heaven?
Walter Scott

Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er, Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, Dream of battled fields no more. Days of danger, nights of waking.
Walter Scott
Who, noteless as the race from which he sprung, Saved others' names, but left his own unsung.
Walter Scott
Affection can withstand very severe storms of vigor, but not a long polar frost of indifference.
Walter Scott
O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood Land of the mountain and the flood!
Walter Scott
Within that awful volume lies The mystery of mysteries!
Walter Scott
In that pleasant district of merry England which is watered by the river Don, there extended in ancient times a large forest, covering the greater part of the beautiful hills and valleys which lie between Sheffield and the pleasant town of Doncaster.
Walter Scott
One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name
Walter Scott
Is death the last sleep? No, it is the last and final awakening.
Walter Scott
