More quotes by Walter Scott
What I have to say is far more important than how long my eyelashes are.
Walter Scott
Sordid selfishness doth contract and narrow our benevolence, and cause us, like serpents, to infold ourselves within ourselves, and to turn out our stings to the entire world besides.
Walter Scott
Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er.
Walter Scott
Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust, from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonor'd, and unsung.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Look not thou on beauty's charming Sit thou still when kings are arming Taste not when the wine-cup glistens Speak not when the people listens
Walter Scott
He is the best sailor who can steer within fewest points of the wind, and exact a motive power out of the greatest obstacles.
Walter Scott
A thousand fearful images and dire suggestions glance along the mind when it is moody and discontented with itself. Command them to stand and show themselves, and you presently assert the power of reason over imagination.
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
Although too much of a soldier among sovereigns, no one could claim with better right to be a sovereign among soldiers.
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
There is a southern proverb - fine words butter no parsnips.
Walter Scott
Every hour has its end.
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
