More quotes by Walter Scott
Profan'd the God-given strength, and marr'd the lofty line.
Walter Scott
A ruin should always be protected but never repaired - thus may we witness full the lingering legacies of the past.
Walter Scott
Steady of heart and stout of hand.
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
To be ambitious of true honor, of the true glory and perfection of our natures, is the very principle and incentive of virtue.
Walter Scott
When Israel, of the Lord belov'd, Out of the land of bondage came, Her fathers' God before her mov'd, An awful guide in smoke and flame.
Walter Scott
My dear, be a good man be virtuous be religious be a good man. Nothing else will give you any comfort when you come to lie here. ...God bless you all.
Walter Scott
As hope and fear alternate chase Our course through life's uncertain race.
Walter Scott
The paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Walter Scott
It was woman that taught me cruelty, and on woman therefore I have exercised it.
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
What an ornament and safeguard is humor! Far better than wit for a poet and writer. It is a genius itself, and so defends from the insanities.
Walter Scott
Without courage there cannot be truth, and without truth there can be no other virtue.
Walter Scott
I have heard men talk about the blessings of freedom, he said to himself, but I wish any wise man would teach me what use to make of it now that I have it.
Walter Scott
True love's the gift which God has given to man alone beneath the heaven.
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
I like a highland friend who will stand by me not only when I am in the right, but when I am a little in the wrong.
Walter Scott
Honour is a homicide and a bloodspiller, that gangs about making frays in the street but Credit is a decent honest man, that sits at hame and makes the pat play.
Walter Scott
Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.
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
