More quotes by Walter Raleigh
It is not truth, but opinion that can travel the world without a passport.
Walter Raleigh
If thy friends be of better quality than thyself, thou mayest be sure of two things first, they will be more careful to keep thy counsel, because they have more to lose than thou hast the second, they will esteem thee for thyself, and not for that which thou dost possess.
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
Hatreds are the cinders of affection.
Walter Raleigh
Our immortal souls, while righteous, are by God himself beautified with the title of his own image and similitude.
Walter Raleigh
Because all men are apt to flatter themselves, to entertain the addition of other men's praises is most perilous.
Walter Raleigh
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.
Walter Raleigh
But true love is a durable fire, In the mind ever burning, Never sick, never old, never dead, From itself never turning.
Walter Raleigh
Never spend anything before thou have it for borrowing is the canker and death of every man's estate.
Walter Raleigh
Let valour end my life!
Walter Raleigh
Death, which hateth and destroyeth a man, is believed God, which hath made him and loves him, is always deferred.
Walter Raleigh
Prevention is the daughter of intelligence.
Walter Raleigh
Our souls, piercing through the impurity of flesh, behold the highest heaven, and thence bring knowledge to contemplate the ever-during, glory and termless joy.
Walter Raleigh
There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
Walter Raleigh
Desire attained is not desire, But as the cinders of the fire.
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
Who so taketh in hand to frame any state or government ought to presuppose that all men are evil, and at occasions will show themselves so to be.
Walter Raleigh
Divine is Love and scorneth worldly pelf, And can be bought with nothing but with self.
Walter Raleigh
Talking much is a sign of vanity, for the one who is lavish with words is cheap in deeds.
Walter Raleigh
Be advised what thou dost discourse of, and what thou maintainest whether touching religion, state, or vanity for if thou err in the first, thou shalt be accounted profane if in the second, dangerous if in the third, indiscreet and foolish.
Walter Raleigh
