More quotes by Walter Scott
Tears are the softening showers which cause the seed of heaven to spring up in the human heart.
Walter Scott
If a faultless poem could be produced, I am satisfied it would tire the critics themselves and annoy the whole reading world with the spleen.
Walter Scott
Here is neither want of appetite nor mouths, Pray heaven we be not scant of meat or mirth.
Walter Scott
Blud's thicker than water.
Walter Scott
If you keep a thing seven years, you are sure to find a use for it.
Walter Scott
And children know, Instinctive taught, the friend and foe.
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
Caution comes too late when we are in the midst of evils.
Walter Scott
The half hour between waking and rising has all my life proved propitious to any task which was exercising my invention... It was always when I first opened my eyes that the desired ideas thronged upon me.
Walter Scott
It was woman that taught me cruelty, and on woman therefore I have exercised it.
Walter Scott
I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives and I am quite satisfied it is in compassion to the human race for if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or twelve years, what would it be if they were to live double that time?
Walter Scott
God forgive me for having thought it possible that a schoolmaster could be out and out a rational being.
Walter Scott
There is a vulgar incredulity, which in historical matters, as well as in those of religion, finds it easier to doubt than to examine.
Walter Scott
God in his goodness sent the grapes To cheer both great and small Little fools will drink too much And great fools none at all!
Walter Scott
A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man's heart through half the year.
Walter Scott
As good play for nothing, you know, as work for nothing.
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
The paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Walter Scott
The Book of Books Within this ample volume lies The mystery of mysteries. Happiest they of human race To whom their God has given grace To read, to fear, to hope, to pray, To lift the latch, to force the way But better had they ne'er been born That read to doubt or read to scorn.
Walter Scott
Commend me to sterling honesty though clad in rags.
Walter Scott
