Walter Raleigh
Image
If any friend desire thee to be his surety, give him a part of what thou hast to spare if he press thee further, he is not thy friend at all, for friendship rather chooseth harm to itself than offereth it.

Walter Raleigh
Image

Walter Raleigh
Image
So the heart be right, it is no matter which way the head lieth.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Whoso taketh in hand to govern a multitude, either by way of liberty or principality, and cannot assure himself of those persons that are enemies to that enterprise, doth frame a state of short perseverance.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Whosoever in writing a modern history shall follow the truth too near the heels it may haply strike out his teeth.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Men endure the losses that befall them by mere casualty with more patience than the damages they sustain by injustice.
Walter Raleigh
Image
It would be an unspeakable advantage, both to the public and private, if men would consider that great truth, that no man is wise or safe but he that is honest.
Walter Raleigh
Image
In a word, we may gather out of History a policy no less wise than I eternal by the comparison and application of other mens fore-passed miseries with our own like errours and ill-deservings.
