More quotes by Walter Scott
Call it not vain: they do not err Who say that when the poet dies Mute Nature mourns her worshipper, And celebrates his obsequies.
Walter Scott
Spangling the wave with lights as vain As pleasures in the vale of pain, That dazzle as they fade.
Walter Scott
God forgive me for having thought it possible that a schoolmaster could be out and out a rational being.
Walter Scott
All live by seeming. The beggar begs with it, and the gay courtier Gains land and title, rank and rule, by seeming The clergy scorn it not, and the bold soldier Will eke with it his service.--All admit it, All practise it and he who is content With showing what he is, shall have small credit In church, or camp, or state.--So wags the world.
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
Affection can withstand very severe storms of vigor, but not a long polar frost of indifference.
Walter Scott
Come one, come all! this rock shall fly From its firm base, as soon as I.
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
Ambition is no cure for love!
Walter Scott
To all, to each, a fair good-night, and pleasing dreams, and slumbers light.
Walter Scott
In prosperous times I have sometimes felt my fancy and powers of language flag, but adversity is to me at least a tonic and bracer.
Walter Scott
Oh, on that day, that wrathful day, When man to judgment wakes front clay, Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay, Though heaven and earth shall pass away.
Walter Scott
Vengeance to God alone belongs But, when I think of all my wrongs My blood is liquid flame!
Walter Scott
Mystery has great charms for womanhood.
Walter Scott
It is more difficult to look upon victory than upon battle.
Walter Scott
The willow which bends to the tempest often escapes better than the oak which resists it.
Walter Scott
I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives and I am quite satisfied it is in compassion to the human race for if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or twelve years, what would it be if they were to live double that time?
Walter Scott
There never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to resolute self-denial.
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
And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.
Walter Scott
