More quotes by Walter Scott
I will tear this folly from my heart, though every fibre bleed as I rend it away!
Walter Scott
I'll dream no more--by mainly mind Not even in sleep is well resigned. My midnight orisons said o'er, I'll turn to rest and dream no more.
Walter Scott
Hail to the Chief who in triumph advances!
Walter Scott
Spur not an unbroken horse put not your plowshare too deep into new land.
Walter Scott
A few drops sprinkled on the torch of love make the flame blaze the brighter.
Walter Scott
Honour is a homicide and a bloodspiller, that gangs about making frays in the street but Credit is a decent honest man, that sits at hame and makes the pat play.
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
Is death the last sleep? No, it is the last and final awakening.
Walter Scott
One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation.
Walter Scott
Adversity is, to me at least, a tonic and a bracer.
Walter Scott
Methinks I will not die quite happy without having seen something of that Rome of which I have read so much.
Walter Scott
Time rolls his ceaseless course.
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
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
I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives and I am quite satisfied it is in compassion to the human race for if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or twelve years, what would it be if they were to live double that time?
Walter Scott
We do that in our zeal our calmer moment would be afraid to answer.
Walter Scott
November's sky is chill and drear, November's leaf is red and sear.
Walter Scott
A sinful heart makes feeble hand.
Walter Scott
The time which passes over our heads so imperceptibly makes the same gradual change in habits, manners and character, as in personal appearance. At the revolution of every five years we find ourselves another and yet the same--there is a change of views, and no less of the light in which we regard them a change of motives as well as of action.
Walter Scott
Where lives the man that has not tried How mirth can into folly glide, And folly into sin!
Walter Scott
