Come forth, old man,--thy dau...

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 283 quotes

We often praise the evening c...

We often praise the evening clouds, And tints so gay and bold, But seldom think upon our God, Who tinged these clouds with gold.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Come fill up my cup, come fil...

Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can, Come saddle your horses, and call up your men; Come open the West Port, and let me gang free, And it's room for the bonnets of Bonny Dundee!

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Affection can withstand very ...

Affection can withstand very severe storms of vigor, but not a long polar frost of indifference.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Women are but the toys which ...

Women are but the toys which amuse our lighter hours---ambition is the serious business of life.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Ridicule often checks what is...

Ridicule often checks what is absurd, and fully as often smothers that which is noble.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Lightly from fair to fair he ...

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 283 quotes

Thou and I are but the blind ...

Thou and I are but the blind instruments of some irresistible fatality, that hurries us along, like goodly vessels driving before the storm, which are dashed against each other, and so perish.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Oh, on that day, that wrathfu...

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 283 quotes

A thousand fearful images and...

A thousand fearful images and dire suggestions glance along the mind when it is moody and discontented with itself. Command them to stand and show themselves, and you presently assert the power of reason over imagination.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Well, then--our course is cho...

Well, then--our course is chosen--spread the sail-- Heave oft the lead, and mark the soundings well-- Look to the helm, good master--many a shoal Marks this stern coast, and rocks, where sits the Siren Who, like ambition, lures men to their ruin.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Tell that to the marines - the sailors won't believe it.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

I will tear this folly from my heart, though every fibre bleed as I rend it away!

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Steady of heart and stout of hand.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Perhaps the perusal of such w...

Perhaps the perusal of such works may, without injustice, be compared with the use of opiates, baneful, when habitually and constantly resorted to, but of most blessed power in those moments of pain and of langour, when the whole head is sore, and the whole heart sick. If those who rail indiscriminately at this species of composition, were to consider the quantity of actual pleasure it produces, and the much greater proportion of real sorrow and distress which it alleviates, their philanthropy ought to moderate their critical pride, or religious intolerance.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

He that follows the advice of...

He that follows the advice of reason has a mind that is elevated above the reach of injury; that sits above the clouds, in a calm and quiet ether, and with a brave indifferency hears the rolling thunders grumble and burst under his feet.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Fight on, brave knights! Man ...

Fight on, brave knights! Man dies, but glory lives! Fight on; death is better than defeat! Fight on brave knights! for bright eyes behold your deeds!

Walter Scott 283 quotes

I like a highland friend who ...

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 283 quotes

There are those to whom a sen...

There are those to whom a sense of religion has come in storm and tempest; there are those whom it has summoned amid scenes of revelry and idle vanity; there are those, too, who have heard its "still small voice" amid rural leisure and placid retirement. But perhaps the knowledge which causeth not to err is most frequently impressed upon the mind during the season of affliction.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Credit is like a looking-glas...

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.
