More quotes by Walter Raleigh

Image
Even such isTime, which takes in trust Our youth, our joys, and all we have, And pays us but with age and dust, Who in the dark and silent grave When we have wandered all our ways Shuts up the story of our days, And from which earth, and grave, and dust The Lord shall raise me up, I trust.

If thou marry beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which, perchance, will neither last nor please thee one year.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Better were it to be unborn than to be ill bred.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Remember, that if thou marry for beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which, perchance, will never last nor please thee one year and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all.

Walter Raleigh
Image
Bad language or abuse, I never, never use, Whatever the emergency Though 'Bother it' I may Occasionally say, I never use a big, big D : What, never? : No, never! : What never? : Well, hardly ever! : Hardly ever swears a big, big D Then give three cheers, and one cheer more, For the well-bred Captain of the Pinafore!
Walter Raleigh
Image
All, or the greatest part of men that have aspired to riches or power, have attained thereunto either by force or fraud, and what they have by craft or cruelty gained, to cover the foulness of their fact, they call purchase, as a name more honest. Howsoever, he that for want of will or wit useth not those means, must rest in servitude and poverty.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Our bodies are but the anvils of pain and disease and our minds the hives of unnumbered cares.
Walter Raleigh
Image
I can't write a book commensurate with Shakespeare, but I can write a book by me.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Trust few men above all, keep your follies to yourself.
Walter Raleigh
Image
I wish I loved the Human Race I wish I loved its silly face I wish I liked the way it walks I wish I liked the way it talks And when I'm introduced to one I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!
Walter Raleigh
Image
War begets quiet, quiet idleness, idleness disorder, disorder ruin likewise ruin order, order virtue, virtue glory, and good fortune.
Walter Raleigh
Image
It is not truth, but opinion that can travel the world without a passport.
Walter Raleigh
Image
If all the world and love were young, And truth in every shepherd's tongue, These pretty pleasures might me move To live with thee, and be thy love.
Walter Raleigh
Image
This is a sharp medicine, but it is a physician for all diseases and miseries.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Death, which hateth and destroyeth a man, is believed God, which hath made him and loves him, is always deferred.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Give my scallop-shell of quiet, My staff of faith to walk upon, My scrip of joy, immortal diet, My bottle of salvation, My gown of glory, hope's true gage And thus I'll take my pilgrimage.

Youth is the opportunity to do something and to be somebody.
