An anthology is like all the plums and orange peel picked out of a cake.
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

Walter Raleigh
Image
No man is esteemed for colorful garments except by fools and women.
Walter Raleigh
Image
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
Image
If she undervalues me, What care I how fair she be?
Walter Raleigh
Image
All men are evil and will declare themselves to be so when occasion is offered.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Whoever commands the sea, commands the trade whosoever commands the trade of the world commands the riches of the world, and consequently the world itself.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Divine is Love and scorneth worldly pelf, And can be bought with nothing but with self.
Walter Raleigh
Image
He that doth not as other men do, but endeavoureth that which ought to be done, shall thereby rather incur peril than preservation for who so laboreth to be sincerely perfect and good shall necessarily perish, living among men that are generally evil.
