More quotes by 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
Hail to the Chief who in triumph advances!
Walter Scott
In listening mood she seemed to stand, The guardian Naiad of the strand.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott

Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott

Walter Scott
True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven: It is not fantasy's hot fire, Whose wishes soon as granted fly It liveth not in fierce desire.
Walter Scott
As good play for nothing, you know, as work for nothing.
Walter Scott
Stood for his country's glory fast, And nailed her colors to the mast!
Walter Scott
A mother's pride, a father's joy.
Walter Scott
Land of my sires! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band That knits me to thy rugged strand!
Walter Scott
Then hush thee, my darling, take rest while you may, For strife comes with manhood, and waking with day.
Walter Scott
The misery of keeping a dog is his dying so soon. But, to be sure, if he lived for fifty years and then died, what would become of me?
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
Mystery has great charms for womanhood.
Walter Scott
