More quotes by Walter Raleigh
Flatterers are the worst kind of traitors, for they will strengthen thy imperfections, encourage thee in all evils, correct thee in nothing, but so shadow and paint thy follies and vices as thou shalt never, by their will, discover good from evil, or vice from virtue.
Walter Raleigh
There is no error which hath not some appearance of probability resembling truth, which, when men who study to be singular find out, straining reason, they then publish to the world matter of contention and jangling.
Walter Raleigh
A wandering minstrel I A thing of shreds and patches Of ballads, songs and snatches And dreamy lullaby!
Walter Raleigh
Corrupt seeds bring forth corrupt plants.
Walter Raleigh
Silence in love betrays more woe - Than words though ne'er so witty A beggar that is dumb, you know, may challenge double pity.
Walter Raleigh
No mortal thing can bear so high a price, But that with mortal thing it may be bought.
Walter Raleigh

Walter Raleigh
When a felon's not engaged in his employment Or maturing his felonious little plans His capacity for innocent enjoyment Is just as great as any honest man's Ah! When constabulary duty's to be done A policeman's lot is not a happy one.
Walter Raleigh
The gain of lying is nothing else but not to be trusted of any, nor to be believed when we say the truth.
Walter Raleigh
... but the longest day hath its evening.
Walter Raleigh
Hatreds are the cinders of affection.
Walter Raleigh
The useful type of successful teacher is one whose main interest is the children, not the subject.
Walter Raleigh
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
Divine is Love and scorneth worldly pelf, And can be bought with nothing but with self.
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
But it is hard to know them from friends, they are so obsequious and full of protestations for a wolf resembles a dog, so doth a flatterer a friend.
Walter Raleigh
