Image
The flowers do fade, and wanton fields To wayward winter reckoning yields A honey tongue, a heart of gall, Is fancy's spring, but sorrow's fall.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Hatreds are the cinders of affection.
Walter Raleigh
Image
The most divine light only shineth on those minds which are purged from all worldly dross and human uncleanliness.
Walter Raleigh
Image
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
Image
Trust few men above all, keep your follies to yourself.
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
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.
Walter Raleigh
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The longer it possesseth a man the more he will delight in it, and the older he groweth the more he shall be subject to it for it dulleth the spirits, and destroyeth the body as ivy doth the old tree, or as the worm that engendereth in the kernal of the nut.
Walter Raleigh
Image
So the heart be right, it is no matter which way the head lieth.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Love likes not the falling fruit, Nor the withered tree.
Walter Raleigh
Image
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
Image
All men are evil and will declare themselves to be so when occasion is offered.
Walter Raleigh
Image
To live thy better, let thy worst thoughts die.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Talking much is a sign of vanity, for the one who is lavish with words is cheap in deeds.
Walter Raleigh
Image
But true love is a durable fire, In the mind ever burning, Never sick, never old, never dead, From itself never turning.
Walter Raleigh
Image
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
Image
Less pains in the world a man cannot take than to bold his tongue.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Death, which hateth and destroyeth a man, is believed God, which hath made him and loves him, is always deferred.
