More quotes by Walter Scott
That day of wrath, that dreadful day. When heaven and earth shall pass away.
Walter Scott
The half hour between waking and rising has all my life proved propitious to any task which was exercising my invention... It was always when I first opened my eyes that the desired ideas thronged upon me.
Walter Scott
Time rolls his ceaseless course.
Walter Scott
Chivalry!---why, maiden, she is the nurse of pure and high affection---the stay of the oppressed, the redresser of grievances, the curb of the power of the tyrant ---Nobility were but an empty name without her, and liberty finds the best protection in her lance and her sword.
Walter Scott
It is more difficult to look upon victory than upon battle.
Walter Scott
Each age has deemed the new-born year the fittest time for festal cheer.
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
Saint George and the Dragon!-Bonny Saint George for Merry England!-The castle is won!
Walter Scott
Spangling the wave with lights as vain As pleasures in the vale of pain, That dazzle as they fade.
Walter Scott
When thinking about companions gone, we feel ourselves doubly alone.
Walter Scott
Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, morn of toil, nor night of waking.
Walter Scott
A few drops sprinkled on the torch of love make the flame blaze the brighter.
Walter Scott
In that pleasant district of merry England which is watered by the river Don, there extended in ancient times a large forest, covering the greater part of the beautiful hills and valleys which lie between Sheffield and the pleasant town of Doncaster.
Walter Scott
All is possible for those who dare to die!
Walter Scott
War is the only game in which both sides lose.
Walter Scott
Do not Christians and Heathens, and Jews and Gentiles, and poets and philosophers, unite in allowing the starry influences?
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
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
Look back, and smile on perils past.
Walter Scott
Commend me to sterling honesty though clad in rags.
Walter Scott
