More quotes by Walter Scott
A rusted nail, placed near the faithful compass, Will sway it from the truth, and wreck the argosy.
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
Necessity--thou best of peacemakers, As well as surest prompter of invention.
Walter Scott
As good play for nothing, you know, as work for nothing.
Walter Scott
Still from the sire the son shall hear Of the stern strife, and carnage drear, Of Flodden's fatal field, When shiver'd was fair Scotland's spear, And broken was her shield!
Walter Scott
Great talent has always a little madness mixed up with it.
Walter Scott
The summer dawn's reflected hue To purple changed Lock Katrine blue, Mildly and soft the western breeze Just kiss'd the lake, just stirr'd the trees, And the pleased lake, like maiden coy, Trembled but dimpled not for joy.
Walter Scott
Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er, Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, Dream of battled fields no more. Days of danger, nights of waking.
Walter Scott
Real valor consists not in being insensible to danger but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.
Walter Scott
For love is heaven and heaven is love.
Walter Scott
It is only when I dally with what I am about, look back and aside, instead of keeping my eyes straight forward, that I feel these cold sinkings of the heart.
Walter Scott
I cannot tell how the truth may be I say the tale as it was said to me.
Walter Scott
It is the privilege of tale-tellers to open their story in an inn, the free rendezvous of all travellers, and where the humour of each displays itself, without ceremony or restraint.
Walter Scott
True love's the gift which God has given to man alone beneath the heaven.
Walter Scott
Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can, Come saddle your horses, and call up your men Come open the West Port, and let me gang free, And it's room for the bonnets of Bonny Dundee!
Walter Scott
Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er.
Walter Scott
Profan'd the God-given strength, and marr'd the lofty line.
Walter Scott
Literature is a great staff, but a very sorry crutch.
Walter Scott
Come forth, old man,--thy daughter's side Is now the fitting place for thee: When time has quell'd the oak's bold pride, The youthful tendril yet may hide, The ruins of the parent tree.
Walter Scott
It was in the beginning of the month of November, 17--, when a young English gentleman, who had just left the university of Oxford, made use of the liberty afforded him, to visit some parts of the north of England and curiosity extended his tour into the adjacent frontier of the sister country.
