Like the dew on the mountain,...

Like the dew on the mountain, like the foam on the river, like the bubble on the fountain, thou art gone, and for ever!

Walter Scott 283 quotes

The paths of virtue, though s...

The paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.

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

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

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

Steady of heart and stout of ...

Steady of heart and stout of hand.

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

Walter Scott 283 quotes

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ridicule often checks what is...

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

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Spangling the wave with light...

Spangling the wave with lights as vain As pleasures in the vale of pain, That dazzle as they fade.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

We shall never learn to feel ...

We shall never learn to feel and respect our real calling and destiny, unless we have taught ourselves to consider every thing as moonshine, compared with the education of the heart.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

The time which passes over ou...

The time which passes over our heads so imperceptibly makes the same gradual change in habits, manners and character, as in personal appearance. At the revolution of every five years we find ourselves another and yet the same;--there is a change of views, and no less of the light in which we regard them; a change of motives as well as of action.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Jock, when ye hae naething el...

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 283 quotes

I will but confess the sins o...

I will but confess the sins of my green cloak to my grey friar's frock, and all shall be well again.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Her blue eyes sought the west...

Her blue eyes sought the west afar,
For lovers love the western star.
