More quotes by Walter Scott
The will to do, the soul to dare..
Walter Scott
Blessed be his name, who hath appointed the quiet night to follow the busy day, and the calm sleep to refresh the wearied limbs and to compose the troubled spirit.
Walter Scott
O! many a shaft, at random sent, Finds mark the archer little meant! And many a word, at random spoken, May soothe or wound a heart that's broken!
Walter Scott
If you once turn on your side after the hour at which you ought to rise, it is all over. Bolt up at once.
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
Art thou a friend to Roderick?
Walter Scott
Good wine needs neither bush nor preface to make it welcome. And they drank the red wine through the helmet barr'd.
Walter Scott
Where lives the man that has not tried How mirth can into folly glide, And folly into sin!
Walter Scott
It is more difficult to look upon victory than upon battle.
Walter Scott
For deadly fear can time outgo, and blanch at once the hair.
Walter Scott
Now, it is well known, that a man may with more impunity be guilty of an actual breach either of real good breeding or of good morals, than appear ignorant of the most minute point of fashionable etiquette.
Walter Scott
Women are but the toys which amuse our lighter hours---ambition is the serious business of life.
Walter Scott
God forgive me for having thought it possible that a schoolmaster could be out and out a rational being.
Walter Scott
Fortune may raise up or abuse the ordinary mortal, but the sage and the soldier should have minds beyond her control.
Walter Scott
Warriors! and where are warriors found, If not on martial Britain's ground? And who, when waked with note of fire, Love more than they the British lyre?
Walter Scott
Heap on more wood! - the wind is chill But let it whistle as it will, We'll keep our Christmas merry still.
Walter Scott
Hope is brightest when it dawns from fears.
Walter Scott
The lover's pleasure, like that of the hunter, is in the chase, and the brightest beauty loses half its merit, as the flower its perfume, when the willing hand can reach it too easily. There must be doubt there must be difficulty and danger.
Walter Scott
Spur not an unbroken horse put not your plowshare too deep into new land.
Walter Scott
There is a vulgar incredulity, which in historical matters, as well as in those of religion, finds it easier to doubt than to examine.
Walter Scott
