Quote

Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can, Come saddle your horses, and call up your men Come open the West Port, and let me gang free, And it's room for the bonnets of Bonny Dundee!

More quotes by Walter Scott

Image
One or two of these scoundrel statesmen should be shot once a-year, just to keep the others on their good behavior.
Walter Scott
Image
We shall never learn to feel and respect our real calling and destiny, unless we have taught ourselves to consider every thing as moonshine, compared with the education of the heart.
Walter Scott
Image
Great talent has always a little madness mixed up with it.
Walter Scott
Image
Lightly from fair to fair he flew, And loved to plead, lament, and sue Suit lightly won, and short-lived pain, For monarchs seldom sigh in vain.
Walter Scott
Image
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
Image
But with morning cool repentance came.
Walter Scott
Image
A sinful heart makes feeble hand.
Walter Scott
Image
High minds, of native pride and force, Most deeply feel thy pangs, Remorse Fear, for their scourge, means villains have, Thou art the torturer of the brave!
Walter Scott
Image
Will future ages believe that such stupid bigotry ever existed!
Walter Scott
Image
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
Image
In listening mood she seemed to stand, The guardian Naiad of the strand.
Walter Scott
Image
What can they see in the longest kingly line in Europe, save that it runs back to a successful soldier?
Walter Scott
Image
Although too much of a soldier among sovereigns, no one could claim with better right to be a sovereign among soldiers.
Walter Scott
Image
As hope and fear alternate chase Our course through life's uncertain race.
Walter Scott
Image
Dear to me is my bonnie white steed Oft has he helped me at pinch of need.
Walter Scott
Image
Here eglantine embalm'd the air, Hawthorne and hazel mingled there The primrose pale, and violet flower, Found in each cliff a narrow bower Fox-glove and nightshade, side by side, Emblems of punishment and pride, Group'd their dark hues with every stain The weather-beaten crags retain.
Walter Scott
Image
Time rolls his ceaseless course.
Walter Scott
Image
We build statues out of snow, and weep to see them melt.
Walter Scott
Image
The man who is deserving the name is the one whose thoughts and exertions are for others rather than for himself.
Walter Scott
Image
Here is neither want of appetite nor mouths, Pray heaven we be not scant of meat or mirth.
Walter Scott
