More quotes by 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
Hard toil can roughen form and face, And want call quench the eye's bright grace.
Walter Scott
Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust, from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonor'd, and unsung.
Walter Scott
Respect was mingled with surprise, And the stern joy which warriors feel In foemen worthy of their steel.
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
Like the dew on the mountain, like the foam on the river, like the bubble on the fountain, thou art gone, and for ever!
Walter Scott
Affection can withstand very severe storms of vigor, but not a long polar frost of indifference.
Walter Scott
He that follows the advice of reason has a mind that is elevated above the reach of injury that sits above the clouds, in a calm and quiet ether, and with a brave indifferency hears the rolling thunders grumble and burst under his feet.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
But woe awaits a country when She sees the tears of bearded men.
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
Stood for his country's glory fast, And nailed her colors to the mast!
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
Contentions fierce, Ardent, and dire, spring from no petty cause.
Walter Scott
Caution comes too late when we are in the midst of evils.
Walter Scott
Oh, poverty parts good company.
Walter Scott
Where is the coward that would not dare to fight for such a land as Scotland?
Walter Scott
November's sky is chill and drear, November's leaf is red and sear.
Walter Scott
Spangling the wave with lights as vain As pleasures in the vale of pain, That dazzle as they fade.
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
