More quotes by Walter Scott
My hope, my heaven, my trust must be, My gentle guide, in following thee.
Walter Scott
'Tis an old tale, and often told But did my fate and wish agree, Ne'er had been read, in story old, Of maiden true betray'd for gold, That loved, or was avenged, like me!
Walter Scott
I was born a Scotsman and a bare one. Therefore I was born to fight my way in the world.
Walter Scott
But search the land of living men, Where wilt thou find their like again?
Walter Scott
Who o'er the herd would wish to reign, Fantastic, fickle, fierce, and vain! Vain as the leaf upon the stream, And fickle as a changeful dream Fantastic as a woman's mood, And fierce as Frenzy's fever'd blood. Thou many-headed monster thing, Oh who would wish to be thy king!
Walter Scott
Give me an honest laugher.
Walter Scott
For he that does good, having the unlimited power to do evil, deserves praise not only for the good which he performs, but for the evil which he forbears.
Walter Scott
Treason seldom dwells with courage.
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
Chivalry!---why, maiden, she is the nurse of pure and high affection---the stay of the oppressed, the redresser of grievances, the curb of the power of the tyrant ---Nobility were but an empty name without her, and liberty finds the best protection in her lance and her sword.
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
In listening mood she seemed to stand, The guardian Naiad of the strand.
Walter Scott
A fool's wild speech confounds the wise.
Walter Scott
Some touch of Nature's genial glow.
Walter Scott
A mother's pride, a father's joy.
Walter Scott
Oh, poverty parts good company.
Walter Scott
Great talent has always a little madness mixed up with it.
Walter Scott
Dear to me is my bonnie white steed Oft has he helped me at pinch of need.
Walter Scott
Vengeance to God alone belongs But, when I think of all my wrongs My blood is liquid flame!
Walter Scott
Woe to the youth whom Fancy gains, Winning from Reason's hand the reins, Pity and woe! for such a mind Is soft contemplative, and kind.
Walter Scott
