More quotes by Walter Scott
Faces that have charmed us the most escape us the soonest.
Walter Scott
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
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
Necessity--thou best of peacemakers, As well as surest prompter of invention.
Walter Scott
Never was flattery lost on a poet's ear a simple race, they waste their toil for the vain tribute of a smile.
Walter Scott
A fool's wild speech confounds the wise.
Walter Scott
For success, attitude is equally as important as ability.
Walter Scott
O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war, Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?
Walter Scott
The tear, down childhood's cheek that flows, Is like the dewdrop on the rose When next the summer breeze comes by And waves the bush, the flower is dry.
Walter Scott
What is a diary as a rule? A document useful to the person who keeps it. Dull to the contemporary who reads it and invaluable to the student, centuries afterwards, who treasures it.
Walter Scott
I will but confess the sins of my green cloak to my grey friar's frock, and all shall be well again.
Walter Scott
Oh, poverty parts good company.
Walter Scott
Where is the coward that would not dare to fight for such a land as Scotland?
Walter Scott
A sound head, an honest heart, and an humble spirit are the three best guides through time and to eternity.
Walter Scott
But woe awaits a country when She sees the tears of bearded men.
Walter Scott
Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er.
Walter Scott
...crystal and hearts would lose all their merit in the world if it were not for their fragility.
Walter Scott
We are like the herb which flourisheth most when it is most trampled on.
Walter Scott
He who indulges his sense in any excesses renders himself obnoxious to his own reason and, to gratify the brute in him, displeases the man, and sets his two natures at variance.
Walter Scott
Wounds sustained for the sake of conscience carry their own balsam with the blow.
Walter Scott
