More quotes by Walter Raleigh
Historians desiring to write the actions of men, ought to set down the simple truth, and not say anything for love or hatred also to choose such an opportunity for writing as it may be lawful to think what they will, and write what they think, which is a rare happiness of the time.
Walter Raleigh
Above all things, be not made an ass to carry the burdens of other men if any friend desire thee to be his surety, give him a part of what thou has to spare if he presses thee further, he is not thy friend at all.
Walter Raleigh
In a letter to a friend the thought is often unimportant, and the feeling, if it be only a desire to entertain him, every thing.
Walter Raleigh
The necessity of war, which among human actions is the most lawless, hath some kind of affinity with the necessity of law.
Walter Raleigh
Better were it to be unborn than to be ill bred.
Walter Raleigh
So the heart be right, it is no matter which way the head lieth.
Walter Raleigh
No one can take less pains than to hold his tongue. Hear much, and speak little for the tongue is the instrument of the greatest good and greatest evil that is done in the world.
Walter Raleigh
I shall never be persuaded that God hath shut up all light of learning within the lantern of Aristotle's brain.
Walter Raleigh
There is nothing more becoming any wise man, than to make choice of friends, for by them thou shalt be judged what thou art: let them therefore be wise and virtuous, and none of those that follow thee for gain but make election rather of thy betters, than thy inferiors.
Walter Raleigh
Take special care that thou never trust any friend or servant with any matter that may endanger thine estate for so shalt thou make thyself a bond-slave to him that thou trustest, and leave thyself always to his mercy.
Walter Raleigh
What is our life? A play of passion. Our mirth the music of division. Our mother's wombs the tyring houses be, Where we are drest for this short Comedy.
Walter Raleigh
Youth is the opportunity to do something and to be somebody.
Walter Raleigh
Even such is time, that takes in trust Our youth, our joys, our all we have, And pays us but with age and dust.
Walter Raleigh
Desire attained is not desire, But as the cinders of the fire.
Walter Raleigh
Hatreds are the cinders of affection.
Walter Raleigh
[It is a basic principle of a tyrant] to unarm his people of weapons, money and all means whereby they resist his power.
Walter Raleigh
Who so desireth to know what will be hereafter, let him think of what is past, for the world hath ever been in a circular revolution whatsoever is now, was heretofore and things past or present, are no other than such as shall be again: Redit orbis in orbem.
Walter Raleigh
The flowers do fade, and wanton fields To wayward winter reckoning yields A honey tongue, a heart of gall, Is fancy's spring, but sorrow's fall.
Walter Raleigh
Love likes not the falling fruit, Nor the withered tree.
Walter Raleigh
The longer it possesseth a man the more he will delight in it, and the older he groweth the more he shall be subject to it for it dulleth the spirits, and destroyeth the body as ivy doth the old tree, or as the worm that engendereth in the kernal of the nut.
