More quotes by Walter Scott
One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name
Walter Scott
Wounds sustained for the sake of conscience carry their own balsam with the blow.
Walter Scott
Great talent has always a little madness mixed up with it.
Walter Scott
When true friends meet in adverse hour 'Tis like a sunbeam through a shower. A watery way an instant seen, The darkly closing clouds between.
Walter Scott
What can they see in the longest kingly line in Europe, save that it runs back to a successful soldier?
Walter Scott
In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's reed In war, he mounts the warrior's steed In halls, in gay attire is seen In hamlets, dances on the green. Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Walter Scott
Who o'er the herd would wish to reign, Fantastic, fickle, fierce, and vain! Vain as the leaf upon the stream, And fickle as a changeful dream Fantastic as a woman's mood, And fierce as Frenzy's fever'd blood. Thou many-headed monster thing, Oh who would wish to be thy king!
Walter Scott
Love will subsist on wonderfully little hope but not altogether without it.
Walter Scott
For Love will still be lord of all.
Walter Scott
Threatened folk live long.
Walter Scott
It 's no fish ye 're buying, it 's men's lives.
Walter Scott
What I have to say is far more important than how long my eyelashes are.
Walter Scott
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.
Walter Scott
Revenge, the sweetest morsel to the mouth that ever was cooked in hell.
Walter Scott
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, morn of toil, nor night of waking.
Walter Scott
All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education.
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
Contentions fierce, Ardent, and dire, spring from no petty cause.
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
Mankind — the race would perish did they cease to aid each other.
Walter Scott
