More quotes by Walter Scott
He that would soothe sorrow must not argue on the vanity of the most deceitful hopes.
Walter Scott
In the lost battle, Borne down by the flying, Where mingles war's rattle With groans of the dying.
Walter Scott
O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war, Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?
Walter Scott
As hope and fear alternate chase Our course through life's uncertain race.
Walter Scott
You will, I trust, resemble a forest plant, which has indeed, by some accident, been brought up in the greenhouse, and thus rendered delicate and effeminate, but which regains its native firmness and tenacity, when exposed for a season to the winter air.
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
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
Great talent has always a little madness mixed up with it.
Walter Scott
Well, then--our course is chosen--spread the sail-- Heave oft the lead, and mark the soundings well-- Look to the helm, good master--many a shoal Marks this stern coast, and rocks, where sits the Siren Who, like ambition, lures men to their ruin.
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
I am she, O most bucolical juvenal, under whose charge are placed the milky mothers of the herd.
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
Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land.
Walter Scott
Lightly from fair to fair he flew, And loved to plead, lament, and sue Suit lightly won, and short-lived pain, For monarchs seldom sigh in vain.
Walter Scott
Vengeance to God alone belongs But, when I think of all my wrongs My blood is liquid flame!
Walter Scott
Those who follow the banners oreason are like the well-disciplined battalions which, wearing a more sober uniform and making a less dazzling show than the light troops commanded by imagination, enjoy more safety, and even more honor, in the conflicts ohuman life.
Walter Scott
God forgive me for having thought it possible that a schoolmaster could be out and out a rational being.
Walter Scott
For love is heaven and heaven is love.
Walter Scott
The lover's pleasure, like that of the hunter, is in the chase, and the brightest beauty loses half its merit, as the flower its perfume, when the willing hand can reach it too easily. There must be doubt there must be difficulty and danger.
Walter Scott
Woman's faith and woman's trust, Write the characters in dust.
Walter Scott
