More quotes by Walter Scott
Ridicule often checks what is absurd, and fully as often smothers that which is noble.
Walter Scott
Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.
Walter Scott
So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war, There never was knight like young Lochinvar.
Walter Scott
Discretion is the perfection of reason, and a guide to us in all the duties of life.
Walter Scott
Lightly from fair to fair he flew, And loved to plead, lament, and sue Suit lightly won, and short-lived pain, For monarchs seldom sigh in vain.
Walter Scott
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Walter Scott
The man who is deserving the name is the one whose thoughts and exertions are for others rather than for himself.
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
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
Look at a gown of gold, and you will at least get a sleeve of it.
Walter Scott
Here is neither want of appetite nor mouths, Pray heaven we be not scant of meat or mirth.
Walter Scott
Jock, when ye hae naething else to do, ye may be aye sticking in a tree it will be growing, Jock, when ye 're sleeping.
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
Treason seldom dwells with courage.
Walter Scott
Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land.
Walter Scott
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.
Walter Scott
Dear to me is my bonnie white steed Oft has he helped me at pinch of need.
Walter Scott
I will tear this folly from my heart, though every fibre bleed as I rend it away!
Walter Scott
The sun never sets on the immense empire of Charles V.
Walter Scott
On his bold visage middle age Had slightly press'd its signet sage, Yet had not quench'd the open truth And fiery vehemence of youth: Forward and frolic glee was there, The will to do, the soul to dare.
Walter Scott
