More quotes by Walter Raleigh
I can't write a book commensurate with Shakespeare, but I can write a book by me.
Walter Raleigh
Except thou desire to hasten thine end, take this for a general rule, that thou never add any artificial heat to thy body by wine or spice.
Walter Raleigh
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
And when I'm introduced to one I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!
Walter Raleigh
But in vain she did conjure him, To depart her presence so, Having a thousand tongues t' allure him And but one to bid him go. When lips invite, And eyes delight, And cheeks as fresh as rose in June, Persuade delay,-- What boots to say Forego me now, come to me soon.
Walter Raleigh
A man must first govern himself ere he is fit to govern a family and his family ere he be fit to bear the government of the commonwealth.
Walter Raleigh
The useful type of successful teacher is one whose main interest is the children, not the subject.
Walter Raleigh
It were better for a man to be subject to any vice than to drunkenness for all other vanities and sins are recovered, but a drunkard will never shake off the delight of beastliness.
Walter Raleigh
So the heart be right, it is no matter which way the head lieth.
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
Corrupt seeds bring forth corrupt plants.
Walter Raleigh
War begets quiet, quiet idleness, idleness disorder, disorder ruin likewise ruin order, order virtue, virtue glory, and good fortune.
Walter Raleigh
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
Bad language or abuse, I never, never use, Whatever the emergency Though 'Bother it' I may Occasionally say, I never use a big, big D : What, never? : No, never! : What never? : Well, hardly ever! : Hardly ever swears a big, big D Then give three cheers, and one cheer more, For the well-bred Captain of the Pinafore!
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
I wish I loved the Human Race I wish I loved its silly face I wish I liked the way it walks I wish I liked the way it talks And when I'm introduced to one I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!
Walter Raleigh
The bodies of men, munition, and money may justly be called the sinews of war.
Walter Raleigh
It is, it is a glorious thing To be a Pirate King.
Walter Raleigh
But from this earth, this grave, this dust, My God shall raise me up, I trust.
Walter Raleigh
Death, which hateth and destroyeth a man, is believed God, which hath made him and loves him, is always deferred.
Walter Raleigh
