In man's most dark extremity ...

In man's most dark extremity Oft succour dawns from Heaven.

Oh, Brignall banks are wild and fair, And Greta woods are green, And you may gather garlands there Would grace a summer's queen.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Thou hast had thty day, old dame, but thy sun has long been set. Thou art now the very emblem of an old warhorse turned out on the barren heath; thou hast had thy paces in thy time, but now a broken amble is the best of them.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

I am she, O most bucolical juvenal, under whose charge are placed the milky mothers of the herd.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Alas!... what is it, valiant ...

Alas!... what is it, valiant knight, save an offering of sacrifice to a demon of vain glory, and a passing through the fire of Moloch? What remains to you as a prize of all the blood you have spilled, of all the travail and pain you have endured, of all the tears which your deeds have caused, when death hath broken the strong man's spear, and overtaken the speed of his war-horse?

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Land of my sires! what mortal...

Land of my sires! what mortal hand Can e'er untie the filial band That knits me to thy rugged strand!

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Her blue eyes sought the west...

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

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

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

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

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

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

Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Vengeance to God alone belong...

Vengeance to God alone belongs; But, when I think of all my wrongs My blood is liquid flame!

Walter Scott 283 quotes

It is more difficult to look ...

It is more difficult to look upon victory than upon battle.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

High minds, of native pride a...

High minds, of native pride and force, Most deeply feel thy pangs, Remorse; Fear, for their scourge, means villains have, Thou art the torturer of the brave!

Walter Scott 283 quotes

Where lives the man that has ...

Where lives the man that has not tried How mirth can into folly glide, And folly into sin!

Walter Scott 283 quotes

All live by seeming. The begg...

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 283 quotes

For a laggard in love, and a ...

For a laggard in love, and a dastard in war, Was to wed the fair Ellen of Lochinvar.

Walter Scott 283 quotes

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.
