More quotes by Walter Scott
Then hush thee, my darling, take rest while you may, For strife comes with manhood, and waking with day.
Walter Scott
In the lost battle, Borne down by the flying, Where mingles war's rattle With groans of the dying.
Walter Scott
Lambe them, lads! lambe them! a cant phrase of the time derived from the fate of Dr. Lambe, an astrologer and quack, who was knocked on the head by the rabble in Charles the First's time.
Walter Scott
Literature is a great staff, but a very sorry crutch.
Walter Scott
Come one, come all! this rock shall fly From its firm base, as soon as I.
Walter Scott
A good deal of philanthropy arises in general from mere vanity and love of distinction gilded over to others and to themselves with some show of benevolent sentiment.
Walter Scott
When thinking about companions gone, we feel ourselves doubly alone.
Walter Scott
It 's no fish ye 're buying, it 's men's lives.
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
Ridicule often checks what is absurd, and fully as often smothers that which is noble.
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
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
I was born a Scotsman and a bare one. Therefore I was born to fight my way in the world.
Walter Scott
Oh, Brignall banks are wild and fair, And Greta woods are green, And you may gather garlands there Would grace a summer's queen.
Walter Scott
It is wonderful what strength of purpose and boldness and energy of will are roused by the assurance that we are doing our duty.
Walter Scott
Mystery has great charms for womanhood.
Walter Scott
He hath a share of man's intelligence, but no share of man's falsehood.
Walter Scott
He that climbs the tall tree has won right to the fruit, He that leaps the wide gulf should prevail in his suit.
Walter Scott
All live by seeming. The beggar begs with it, and the gay courtier Gains land and title, rank and rule, by seeming The clergy scorn it not, and the bold soldier Will eke with it his service.--All admit it, All practise it and he who is content With showing what he is, shall have small credit In church, or camp, or state.--So wags the world.
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
