Walter Raleigh
Image
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
Image
Our immortal souls, while righteous, are by God himself beautified with the title of his own image and similitude.

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
No mortal thing can bear so high a price, But that with mortal thing it may be bought.
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

Walter Raleigh
Image
Corrupt seeds bring forth corrupt plants.
Walter Raleigh
Image
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
Image
If any friend desire thee to be his surety, give him a part of what thou hast to spare if he press thee further, he is not thy friend at all, for friendship rather chooseth harm to itself than offereth it. If thou be bound for a stranger, thou art a fool if for a merchant, thou puttest thy estate to learn to swim.
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
Covetous ambition, thinking all too little which presently it hath, supposeth itself to stand in need of that which it hath not.
Walter Raleigh
Image
It is not truth, but opinion that can travel the world without a passport.
Walter Raleigh
Image
The necessity of war, which among human actions is the most lawless, hath some kind of affinity with the necessity of law.
