More quotes by 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
Guilt, though it may attain temporal splendor, can never confer real happiness the evil consequences of our crimes long survive their commission, and, like the ghosts of the murdered, forever haunt the steps of the malefactor while the paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Walter Scott
Ridicule, the weapon of all others most feared by enthusiasts of every description, and which from its predominance over such minds, often checks what is absurd, and fully as often smothers that which is noble.
Walter Scott
What skilful limner e'er would choose To paint the rainbow's varying hues, Unless to mortal it were given To dip his brush in dyes of heaven?
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
My foot is on my native heath, and my name is MacGregor.
Walter Scott
Faces that have charmed us the most escape us the soonest.
Walter Scott
Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth, When thought is speech, and speech is truth.
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
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
In the lost battle, Borne down by the flying, Where mingles war's rattle With groans of the dying.
Walter Scott
If you keep a thing seven years, you are sure to find a use for it.
Walter Scott
Contentions fierce, Ardent, and dire, spring from no petty cause.
Walter Scott
O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war, Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?
Walter Scott
That day of wrath, that dreadful day. When heaven and earth shall pass away.
Walter Scott
Greatness of any kind has no greater foe than a habit of drinking.
Walter Scott
The paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Walter Scott
When a man has not a good reason for doing a thing, he has one good reason for letting it alone.
Walter Scott
...crystal and hearts would lose all their merit in the world if it were not for their fragility.
Walter Scott
For love is heaven and heaven is love.
Walter Scott
