More quotes by Walter Scott
True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven. It is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie, Which heart to heart, and mind to mind, In body and in soul can bind.
Walter Scott
Credit is like a looking-glass, which when once sullied by a breath, may be wiped clear again but if once cracked can never be repaired.
Walter Scott
The way was long, the wind was cold, The Minstrel was infirm and old His withered cheek, and tresses gray, Seemed to have know a better day.
Walter Scott
Discretion is the perfection of reason, and a guide to us in all the duties of life.
Walter Scott
Teach you children poetry it opens the mind, lends grace to wisdom and makes the heroic virtues hereditary.
Walter Scott
Now, it is well known, that a man may with more impunity be guilty of an actual breach either of real good breeding or of good morals, than appear ignorant of the most minute point of fashionable etiquette.
Walter Scott
True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven: It is not fantasy's hot fire, Whose wishes soon as granted fly It liveth not in fierce desire.
Walter Scott
Where, where was Roderick then? One blast upon his bugle horn Were worth a thousand men.
Walter Scott
The lover's pleasure, like that of the hunter, is in the chase, and the brightest beauty loses half its merit, as the flower its perfume, when the willing hand can reach it too easily. There must be doubt there must be difficulty and danger.
Walter Scott
One or two of these scoundrel statesmen should be shot once a-year, just to keep the others on their good behavior.
Walter Scott
Spur not an unbroken horse put not your plowshare too deep into new land.
Walter Scott
A rusted nail, placed near the faithful compass, Will sway it from the truth, and wreck the argosy.
Walter Scott
Chess is a sad waste of brains.
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.
Walter Scott
Affection can withstand very severe storms of vigor, but not a long polar frost of indifference.
Walter Scott
A good deal of philanthropy arises in general from mere vanity and love of distinction gilded over to others and to themselves with some show of benevolent sentiment.
Walter Scott
Though varying wishes, hopes, and fears, Fever'd the progress of these years, Yet now, days, weeks, and months but seem The recollection of a dream.
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
I like a highland friend who will stand by me not only when I am in the right, but when I am a little in the wrong.
Walter Scott
Every hour has its end.
Walter Scott
