More quotes by 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
Our shipping and sea service is our best and safest defence as being the only fortification and rampart of England.
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
Desire attained is not desire, But as the cinders of the fire.
Walter Raleigh
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.
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
Let valour end my life!
Walter Raleigh
Passions are likened best to floods and streams: The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb.
Walter Raleigh
All men are evil and will declare themselves to be so when occasion is offered.
Walter Raleigh
Historians desiring to write the actions of men, ought to set down the simple truth, and not say anything for love or hatred also to choose such an opportunity for writing as it may be lawful to think what they will, and write what they think, which is a rare happiness of the time.
Walter Raleigh
In a letter to a friend the thought is often unimportant, and the feeling, if it be only a desire to entertain him, every thing.
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
The useful type of successful teacher is one whose main interest is the children, not the subject.
Walter Raleigh
Romance is a love affair in other than domestic surroundings.
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
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
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
The difference between a rich man and a poor man is this--the former eats when he pleases, and the latter when he can get it.
Walter Raleigh
Passions are liken'd best to floods and streams: The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb So, when affection yields discourse, it seems The bottom is but shallow whence they come. They that are rich in words, in words discover
Walter Raleigh
Use your youth so that you may have comfort to remember it when it has forsaken you, and not sigh and grieve at the account thereof.
