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
There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Desire attained is not desire, But as the cinders of the fire.
