More quotes by Walter Scott
Cats are a very mysterious kind of folk. There is always more passing in their minds than we are aware of.
Walter Scott
The way was long, the wind was cold, The Minstrel was infirm and old His withered cheek, and tresses gray, Seemed to have know a better day.
Walter Scott
In that pleasant district of merry England which is watered by the river Don, there extended in ancient times a large forest, covering the greater part of the beautiful hills and valleys which lie between Sheffield and the pleasant town of Doncaster.
Walter Scott
The chain of friendship, however bright, does not stand the attrition of constant close contact.
Walter Scott
Ridicule often checks what is absurd, and fully as often smothers that which is noble.
Walter Scott
For deadly fear can time outgo, and blanch at once the hair.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Thou and I are but the blind instruments of some irresistible fatality, that hurries us along, like goodly vessels driving before the storm, which are dashed against each other, and so perish.
Walter Scott
The will to do, the soul to dare..
Walter Scott
But with morning cool repentance came.
Walter Scott
Revenge, the sweetest morsel to the mouth that ever was cooked in hell.
Walter Scott
Earth walks on Earth, Glittering in gold Earth goes to Earth, Sooner than it wold Earth builds on Earth, Palaces and towers Earth says to Earth, Soon, all shall be ours.
Walter Scott
Wounds sustained for the sake of conscience carry their own balsam with the blow.
Walter Scott
It 's no fish ye 're buying, it 's men's lives.
Walter Scott
All is possible for those who dare to die!
Walter Scott
Good even, good fair moon, good even to thee. I prithee, dear moon, now show to me the form and the features, the speech and degree, of the man that true lover of mine shall be.
Walter Scott
Then hush thee, my darling, take rest while you may, For strife comes with manhood, and waking with day.
Walter Scott
