More quotes by Walter Scott
Steady of heart and stout of hand.
Walter Scott
Love, to her ear, was but a name, Combin'd with vanity and shame Her hopes, her fears, her joys, were all Bounded within the cloister wall.
Walter Scott
Call it not vain: they do not err Who say that when the poet dies Mute Nature mourns her worshipper, And celebrates his obsequies.
Walter Scott
Caution comes too late when we are in the midst of evils.
Walter Scott
I will tear this folly from my heart, though every fibre bleed as I rend it away!
Walter Scott
A fool's wild speech confounds the wise.
Walter Scott
And better had they ne'er been born, Who read to doubt, or read to scorn.
Walter Scott
As good play for nothing, you know, as work for nothing.
Walter Scott
My hope, my heaven, my trust must be, My gentle guide, in following thee.
Walter Scott
Fair play is a jewel.
Walter Scott
In prosperous times I have sometimes felt my fancy and powers of language flag, but adversity is to me at least a tonic and bracer.
Walter Scott
When true friends meet in adverse hour 'Tis like a sunbeam through a shower. A watery way an instant seen, The darkly closing clouds between.
Walter Scott
In man's most dark extremity Oft succour dawns from Heaven.
Walter Scott
Merrily, merrily goes the bark On a breeze from the northward free, So shoots through the morning sky the lark, Or the swan through the summer sea.
Walter Scott
In love quarrels the party that loves the most is always most willing to acknowledge the greater fault.
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
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
I cannot tell how the truth may be I say the tale as it was said to me.
Walter Scott
Marry in haste, repent at leisure.
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
